Black August is an annual observance of the legacy of radical Black thought and action, a time of reflection, political education, and commemoration of resistance against systemic racism, oppression, and injustice.

At this celebration, we’ll honor those who’ve paved the way for a more just future, and lay flowers at the feet of those blazing trails at present.

• Learn and teach each other about Black-African freedom fighters and liberation movements

• Practice the mindful harvest of flowers, and build bouquets from plant materials growing on-site

• Gather photo portraits of ourselves among the blooms.

• Catalyze our creativity by making art with flowers

• Rest among the blossoms to embody resistance and reclaim time, energy and power.

People of all ages welcome; child care will be provided.
