Honoring Black History Month: Celebrating the Black Community of Greensboro

As we celebrate Black History Month, we recognize the profound contributions of Greensboro’s Black community—past, present, and future. From the courageous leadership of the Greensboro Four during the civil rights movement to the thriving Black entrepreneurs, artists, and changemakers shaping our city today, Black history is an integral part of Greensboro’s identity. This month is a time to reflect on the resilience, strength, and achievements of Black leaders who have paved the way for progress while also reaffirming our commitment to a more just and equitable future.

The Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro is dedicated to supporting initiatives that uplift and empower diverse communities. Through programs like the Black Investments in Greensboro (BIG) Equity Fund and investments in Black-led and Black-serving organizations that drive economic mobility, education, health equity, and cultural vibrancy, our commitment extends beyond February—we continue to seek meaningful ways to foster opportunity, amplify Black voices, and ensure lasting impact throughout Greensboro. Together, we celebrate history, honor progress, and work toward a stronger, more inclusive community for all.

This Black History Month, we want to highlight the Black-led 2024 Grantees working to provide resources and support to underserved communities in Greensboro.
