ABOUT 1619NCBW
Since our inaugural celebration on March 2, 2019, commemorating 400 years since the first 20 African captives arrived in Jamestown, Virginia, in 1619,
1619 National Celebration of Black Women has remained committed to empowering Black women and girls.
This celebration highlights their extraordinary achievements, resilience, creativity, and contributions to building America.
Honored by 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 committed to creating an America where every Black woman and girl can proudly say, "I AM 1619!"
"To know our historical worth is of far greater value than to know our history of oppression."
