The Black Cultural Conference is calling to action of the community to act with courage as we collectively prepare for changes within our community such as issues in higher education, family, diversity, health and so much more. This conference requires all, from undergraduate to graduate students, from faculty, administrators, staff to community members, to be unafraid. It requires that we all learn to love each other's differences, unite and heal together. The 2nd Black Cultural Conference will challenge all to expand one’s diversity of knowledge and probe the right questions to get solutions to achieve a stronger and more united Black community. The four key pillars to the 2nd Black Cultural Conference are:
Unity
For African Americans, Africans, Caribbean, and allies to join together in harmony. To help form an agreement, that will lead us together into healing the disparities within our community.
Justice
To fight for equality amongst the African Diaspora, both within and outside of our community. To generate questions and solutions to the issues of injustices such as, disparities within the education system, health, and economically. Uniting in fighting for justice is important now and for our future generations.
Change
To realize that in order to unite and heal our community we must change, things cannot stay the same. Uniting with one another, including allies, will help us fight and change the injustices in our community.
Understanding
You must love oneself first to love others. To learn how to love yourself so that you may love others through their differences. Understanding oneself and others creates the power to change society.
"We ourselves have to lift the level of our community, take the standards of our community to a higher level, make our own society beautiful so that we will be satisfied...we've got to change our own minds about each other. We have to see each other with new eyes...we have to come together with warmth..."
