Rationale for Black Summit 2026
After years of supposed strides in moving towards a more equal society, manifestation and patterns of white supremacy reared their ugly heads to check this growth. This became more pronounced after the two-years presidency of Barack Obama. It was as if people woke up and felt threatened that the America they knew was changing.
Black Summit 2026 will bring together Black Delawareans to etch out an agenda that not only identifies the ties that bind us but, in addition, produces strategies and action steps with measurable outcomes that will stem the loss of progress towards a true democratic America. The outcomes will specify the aims Black Delawareans identity as essential to eliminating or reducing the racial disparities that negatively impact the lives of Delaware’s African American communities.
Mission
The mission of Black Summit 2026 is to: 1) formulate a Black agenda that will address specific problems that adversely impact the unique social, economic, political, health and educational situation of African Americans in Delaware, 2) establish action steps with specific outcomes that remove or reduce barriers to the overall well-being of African Americans in Delaware and 3) identify specific strategies that will sustain attention and action directly related outcomes for Black Summit 2026.
Vision
Black Summit 2026 envisions a future where every African American in Delaware - regardless of their zip code or circumstances - has full access to opportunity, thereby, eliminating structural barriers that prevent the achievement of one's aspirations for self, family and community.
