#blackaugust #TBT #ThrowbackThursday Black August is hosted in the heart of Downtown Durham to assert our Blackness in the most public way possible. As the city of Durham changes and the city center becomes less representative of Durham's Black population, we provide a space to boldy resist this change. Black August in the Park solicits Black owned food and beverage vendors to sell at our events. In order to maintain the family environment, they do not host retail vendors at THIS event (see The Black Market). They feature renowned DJ's that mix with live, local drumming for a unique musical experience. Black August in the Park is also a place for all age groups to engage and have fun. #supportblackart #supportblackmusic #supportblackfood (at Durham, North Carolina)
