AUGUST
The roots of Black August date back to 1960, when 18-year- old George Jackson received a one-year to life sentence after being convicted of robbery. Officially launched in 1979, it has spread from prison walls and serves as a month to honor all those who fought for the collective progress of Black people and those who lost their lives unjustly to violence and systemic racism. It is a time to practice self-care, educate, promote community and economic building.
To observe Black August, the community is encouraged to focus on physical, mental and spiritual health and patron Black-owned businesses.
