For decades, Black community groups here in Santa Barbara, like the George Washington Carver Club and the Santa Barbara Eastern Star Jewel, hosted galas that brought people together in joy, care, and purpose. They gathered to raise scholarship funds, to create safe spaces, and to resource their communities facing social inequities.

On Saturday, November 1, we’ll carry that tradition forward with the 2nd Annual Black is Beautiful Gala: Black Excellence Through the Decades. This evening will bring together live music, a keynote speaker, youth and community awards, a curated auction, and a chance to share a meal and dance in a space rooted in Black joy, beauty, and leadership—while welcoming all who care about Black lives.

Tickets are on sale now—secure yours at hjsb.org/bib-2025

Y’all
This involves us.

As a collective of stolen people on stolen land
Having borne witness to arbitrary lines drawn in and around us
Rebuking assertions of 3/5 humanity
Never granted full citizenship
All of this is real familiar
But white supremacy ain’t never bothered to get creative

Immigration is a Black Issue.
Period
To our diaspora kinfolk we will not compromise on your humanity

And to our non-Black immigrant cousins, these strategies, the violence, the disappearing of people while consuming their culture, is familiar. We believe you.

We carry your stories with ours, and we are uplift orgs like

In Solidarity
