The Black Neighborhood is an organization that aims to empower & uplift communities with actions centered around love, respect, and understanding.

The Black Neighborhood is a organization created from the hearts, minds, and experiences of six black men native to Richmond and Oakland, California. We were heavily inspired by our mothers, our communities, and the Black Panthers and decided we must be the change we want to see. We are each individuals and leaders in our own right, but understand that together we are a strong unit with high hopes of inspiring today's youth and presenting our communities with options and positivity. We are well aware of the challenges the Black community continues to face, and are very optimistic that a change is will come. The Black Neighborhood focuses on the Black community while understanding that one community is never in isolation without others; therefore we invite the larger Bay Area community and that of the world to immerse its talents, beliefs, and time into the future of our nation. We focus on community outreach via monthly food giveaways, speaking engagements, free gatherings such as BBQ's, and community exposure via movie screenings, special events, and all around fun.

60 years ago today, on October 15, 1966, the Black Panther Party was founded in Oakland, California.

What began with a commitment to protecting Black communities grew into a movement rooted in justice, education, self-determination, and service to the people.

Their work came with sacrifice. Their time, their freedom, their safety, and for some, their lives. But their dedication laid a foundation for generations to continue organizing, building, and caring for our communities.

The Black Neighborhood was modeled after that very same activism, tenacity, and commitment to the people. Today, as we serve Richmond, Oakland, and the surrounding Bay Area, we carry those principles into everything we do.

We are evidence of the lasting impact of the Black Panther movement. With every man, woman, and child who becomes part of our neighborhood, we strive to honor their sacrifices through action, not just words.

Their work didn’t end with them. And our responsibility doesn’t end with us.

This weekend, tap in to the various events that aim to honor the Black Panther Party and celebrate 60 years of Black power, community, and service.

ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE.
