This initiative aims to highlight the legacy and contributions of African Americans throughout the country’s history.

John Garrison Marks, a noted author, emphasized the importance of exploring the diverse history of America beyond just celebrating the Revolution. The Semiquincentennial commemoration presents an opportunity to delve into the complex events and diverse people that have shaped the nation’s past.

The Black America 250™ initiative consists of five pillars and three components, all of which are detailed in the January/February ’24 Special Edition of Black Meetings & Tourism magazine.
