ABOUT 1619NCBW
In April 2018, we launched the 1619 National Celebration of Black Women to honor the often-overlooked figures in American history who played a crucial role in shaping our nation, yet their contributions have too often gone unrecognized.
Since our inaugural celebration on March 2, 2019, 1619NCBW has focused on its commitment to empowering Black women and girls. This celebration highlights the extraordinary achievements of Black women, recognizing their resilience, creativity, and invaluable contributions to building our nation since the first African captives arrived in Jamestown, Virginia, in 1619.
With recognition from the California State Legislature, Women in NAACP (WINN), the United States House of Representatives, and the County of San Diego Board of Supervisors, 1619NCBW is on a mission to create an America where every Black woman and girl can proudly say "I AM 1619!"
Our Mission
To celebrate the extraordinary contributions women of African descent have made in building this great nation of these United States of America.
Educating and uplifting black women and girls by honoring the historical contributions of their ancestors, and inspiring them to walk in their power.
