What is Black Humboldt ?

Black Humboldt is interested in networking, building relationships and community with the Black & Brown population residing and visiting California’s North Coast communities. Offering programming, community gatherings, monetary opportunities and culturally significant events, Black Humboldt works to decrease the vulnerability and increase the general well being of the communities we serve.

As the 6% Black population is growing through employment, education and even vacation; our goal is to represent and support one another by focusing on positive stories from the community, investing in Black & Brown businesses, Arts and Culture and building community awareness of  issues affecting the Black & Brown community in North Coast Communities.

Black Humboldt operates on the present and ancestral Homeland and unceded territory of the Wiyot Tribe. Please donate to the Wiyot Tribe honor tax. We encourage direct giving to Tribes and Native-led efforts. Tribes and Nations in Humboldt County include Hupa, Karuk, Mattole, Tolowa, Wailaki, Wiyot, Yurok. We make this land acknowledgment in recognition that our words must be matched by action and approach. Please learn from Dr. Cutcha Risling Baldy's lecture "What Good Is a Land Acknowledgment?"

We recognize and acknowledge the labor upon which our country, state, and institutions are built. Remember that our country is built on the labor of enslaved people who were kidnapped and brought to the US from the African Continent and recognize the continued contribution of their survivors. We acknowledge all immigrant labor, including voluntary, involuntary, and trafficked peoples who continue to serve within our labor force

Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC): Historically oppressed and marginalized people as a direct result of American Colonialism.

Black & Brown: People descending from within the African Diaspora.
