The 14th Annual North Carolina Black Summit will be hosted Thursday, April 25th to Friday, April 26th, 2019 in Raleigh, NC with a critical goal in mind - to start and reinforce alliances between 842 Black elected officials across 77 counties.

Our communities thrive when we push forward with a united strategy for change. But what makes this gathering special is who will contribute to the work. Here are are a few reasons why you need to be there.

Rarely will you find community groups and political leaders working through solutions to issues like healthcare, community safety, rural education, housing, economic development, and the ethical repercussions of redistricting and gerrymandering, in such a focused and deliberate way.

YES, all of these issues and more will be discussed. Summit organizers intend to connect the wisdom of veteran public servants with the innovative approaches political newcomers are eager to share.

This is an event guaranteed to inspire dialogue rather than derision.

The NC Black Summit will be hosted at the Raleigh Marriott City Center located at 500 Fayetteville St, Raleigh, NC 27601.
