Mission Statement

Black in Mayberry is primarily focused on addressing the systemic and institutional racism that robs, burdens and disrupts the lives of Black people in the United States of America. Through the application of art and education we strive for political, social, economic and legal change. We believe that art is a powerful tool for encouraging discourse, educating minds and changing hearts. Through creative collaborations with artists and activists we intend to expose, discuss, evaluate current systems and doctrines that uphold racism whether direct or indirect.

Our Programs:

Project Black Lens: A 6-week photography course that empowers young Black photographers to tell authentic stories and drive social change.

Through TEDx Manhattan Beach, we launched the Butterfly Advocacy program, empowering people to create change through small, meaningful actions.
