SUMMARY:16th Annual Black New England Conference: Where the Money Resides: An Exploration of Racialized Access & Historic Exclusion from Wealth
DESCRIPTION:A Virtual/Hybrid Conference\n\n“I don’t think it is an exaggeration to say that financial literacy\, economic empowerment\, and wealth building is going to be the last leg of the civil rights movement. Because one step toward financial literacy takes you two steps toward personal empowerment.” — Russell Simmons \nFor hundreds of years Black families\, Indigenous populations\, and People of Color have been denied access to the opportunity to build wealth. At the same time\, these opportunities were available to middle-class white America which allowed them to accumulate capital and pass it on to future generations. \nA 2021 McKinsey & Company report estimates a $330 billion disparity between Black and white families in the annual flow of new wealth.  By 2064\, white families will possess $2\, 782\, 727 in wealth while a Black family will have $789\,164 —a 70% disparity. \nThe 16th annual Black New England Conference will review the legal framework that supported institutional practices that were barriers to wealth for non-whites. The conference will also explore the challenges and history of the social and cultural environment that supported practices such as racial zoning\, redlining\, school segregation\, and government-sanctioned racism. \nWhere the Money Resides will also celebrate the success stories of both individuals and institutions that serve as beacons of hope for current generations. \nThe Black New England Conference is an annual 2-day gathering where academics\, artists\, activists\, and community members share insights and research on Black experiences\, past and present\, in New England and beyond. The Conference is both an academic conference and a celebration of Black life and history. \nVisit: https://blackheritagetrailnh.org/black-new-england-conference-2022/ \nCONFERENCE PANELS INCLUDE\nThe Rise and Fall of Enslaved and Free Black of Affluence \nBy Decree: Laws & Systemic Barriers to the Acquisition of Wealth \nThe Myth of Black Exceptionalism: Paths to Black Economic Power \nWealth Matters in Black & White \nA Generous Spirit: Black Philanthropy Then & Now \nEconomic Power\, Black Entrepreneurship\, and the New Virtual Economy \n  \nVisit: https://blackheritagetrailnh.org/black-new-england-conference-2022/

SUMMARY:Kwanzaa (African-American/Pan-African)
DESCRIPTION:“As an African American and Pan-African holiday celebrated by millions throughout the world African community\, Kwanzaa brings a cultural message which speaks to the best of what it means to be African and human in the fullest sense. Given the profound significance Kwanzaa has for African Americans and indeed\, the world African community\, it is imperative that an authoritative source and site be made available to give an accurate and expansive account of its origins\, concepts\, values\, symbols and practice.” – Dr. Maulana Karenga\, www.officialkwanzaawebsite.org \nDr. Maulana Karenga\, professor and chairman of Black Studies at California State University\, Long Beach\, created Kwanzaa in 1966. After the Watts riots in Los Angeles\, Dr. Karenga searched for ways to bring African-Americans together as a community. He founded US\, a cultural organization\, and started to research African “first fruit” (harvest) celebrations. Karenga combined aspects of several different harvest celebrations\, such as those of the Ashanti and those of the Zulu\, to form the basis of Kwanzaa. \nThe name Kwanzaa is derived from the phrase “matunda ya kwanza” which means “first fruits” in Swahili. Each family celebrates Kwanzaa in its own way\, but celebrations often include songs and dances\, African drums\, storytelling\, poetry reading\, and a large traditional meal. \nTo learn more\, visit: www.history.com/topics/holidays/kwanzaa-history \n
