✨ HAMILTON, TOMORROW WE CELEBRATE!

BTW is excited to partner for Voices of the Soul of Black Folks, and we’re inviting our ENTIRE community to join us tomorrow at the Fitton Center!

This is more than an exhibition. It’s an opportunity to experience art, culture, history and storytelling in a way that brings people together.

And that’s what we love about this celebration. While it centers and celebrates Black voices and experiences, the invitation is for everyone. Come experience the art. Come learn. Come connect. Come celebrate with your neighbors.

We’re proud to be part of creating spaces where culture is honored, stories are shared, and community comes together. ❤️

BTW family, we need you in the building! Hamilton, we want to see you there! ✨

The Fitton Center and its partners will host a community celebration this month that highlights “The Soul of Black Folks: 250 Years of Creativity, Innovation and Leadership” exhibition curated by Carolyn L. Mazloomi of West Chester.

You voted. We listened. And now it’s official.

A few weeks ago, we invited our BTW family and community to help choose the new public-facing logo for The Booker T. Washington Community Center.

And this was your choice.

As we step into the next chapter of BTW, it was important that our new look didn't leave our history behind.

That’s why 1918 is proudly included in our new logo. The year Booker T. Washington Community Center began serving this community.

Because we're not starting something new. We're building on a legacy that has been here for generations.

And at the heart of the logo are three words that reflect who we are and what we continue to strive for:

COMMUNITY • EXCELLENCE • SERVICE

Community — because BTW has always belonged to the people.

Excellence — because our community deserves our very best.

SERVICE — because Booker T. Washington reminded us, “If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.” We believe we are called to serve, to pour into others, and to help lift our community.

Our look is evolving. Our vision is growing. But our history comes with us.

Thank you to everyone who voted and helped choose the next public face of BTW.

Thank you to Ariadne Mechelle for working on this with us.

The legacy continues. And so do we.

Honoring Legacy. Serving Community.

With Love,
Booker T Washington Community Center

We kicked off the 2026–2027 BTW Thrive Youth Program with a whole lot of excitement during Welcome Week at BTW! 💙🌱

Our kids walked through the doors last Monday and were welcomed by the BTW team, refreshed spaces, brand-new floors and a few surprises to help start the new program year off right! 🙌🏾

And because it’s back-to-school season… who doesn’t love a good BTS picture?! 📸😂

Our kids had fun stepping in front of the camera for their back-to-school pics, and of course, the BTW team couldn’t let them have all the fun!

Welcome Week gave us a chance to reconnect, laugh, explore our new spaces, and set the tone for the year ahead.

We’re just getting started. 💙

Welcome to BTW Thrive 2026–2027! 🌱

It’s Move-In Day at Miami University, and we’re celebrating one of our own! ❤️🤍

Sam’mya’s journey is a beautiful example of what it means to be part of the BTW village. She grew up participating in BTW programs, became a valued member and leader on our youth program staff, and is now beginning her college journey, while continuing to work with us and pour into the next generation.

This is what it means to be part of the village: we support our young people as they grow, celebrate them as they reach new milestones, and watch with pride as they return to help guide those coming behind them.

Sam’mya, we couldn’t be prouder of you! Help us celebrate Sam’mya and ALL of our college students heading back to school. Drop some love, encouragement, and well wishes in the comments! 🎓📚
