Join us August 14th at 1 PM at the General Baker Institute as we honor the legacy of revolutionary freedom fighters and explore the meaning of Black August through its four pillars: study, fast, train, and fight.

This gathering is organized by the Black Power Coalition, a developing all Black led coalition of local groups building, practicing and defining Black Power here in the city of Detroit.

We'll gather for grounding and breathing, a community potluck, a screening of Attica, a community circle discussion, and contributions from local artists. As we honor Black August, we are intentional about creating space for Black people to feel comfortable, grounded, and open to sharing, reflecting, and connecting. We ask Our white comrades to respect this space, its purpose and the importance of Black led spaces within our collective liberation work. Come celebrate the lives and struggles of our revolutionary freedom fighters, deepen our understanding and learn how you can plug into the work of carrying their legacy forward.
