20 Years of Building Black Civic Power

For 20 years, the NC Black Summit has been a trusted space for connection, learning and collective insight. The 2026 Summit builds on that legacy.

Guided by the theme “Unleashing OUR Power: United in Purpose,” this milestone convening unites elected leaders, public policy experts, community advocates and strategic partners from across North Carolina to exchange ideas, share best practices and explore solutions that promote equity, accountability and opportunity. Through conversation and collective insight, participants will examine how policy, community leadership and civic engagement intersect—unleashing new pathways to shape outcomes for OUR communities.

Join us, and together, we can unleash OUR power and unite in purpose to work for the equity OUR communities deserve.
