Join us for the 8th Annual Building Power Summit hosted this year in the beautiful city of Holly Springs, Mississippi- affectionately known as “the Blackest City in America!”.

Nestled off the beaten path between Memphis TN and Jackson MS, the township of Holly Springs quietly holds a rich cultural history including being the birthplace to legendary Civil Rights icons Ida B. Wells and Alfred ‘Skip’ Robinson.  This year’s event will uncover the powerful truth of Holly Springs Black American History and how its homegrown heroes have influenced transformative justice work across Mississippi, the nation, and the world.

This year’s Building Power Summit is FREE to ATTEND and will deliver a balanced convergence of history and activism meant to inspire leaders of all ages. In addition to connecting with the history, expect to connect and engage with like minded individuals and esteemed figures of the grassroots civil rights movement, both elders and contemporary. You won’t want to miss on what promises to be this year’s most powerful experience! Register TODAY so we’ll know to expect you!
