​The 2020 election process is proceeding during this challenging time of pandemic and quarantine.  The country is in crisis and our opportunity to vote for new leadership is in our hands.  Together, we must organize and carefully prepare to Get Out to Vote activities in our communities and select candidates that are going to represent us.  It has been difficult to gather people, hold rallies, get our message out and motivate people to go to the polls in sufficient numbers.  Strategies of success and inclusion are now being developed.

    Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 West Virginia Black Heritage Festival has been canceled but that doesn't mean we're taking a break! 

    Back to Black is our newest blog, used to showcase our community's talented Black writers, activists, and allies! Every week, we'll be publishing two brand new stories - one "For the Culture," on topics like Black history, lifestyle, and heritage, as well as one "For your Toolbox," on life skills, health, and spiritual growth to uplift the community!
