According to the America 250 Congressional Commission, the U.S. Semiquincentennial

commemoration period culminates on July 4, 2026, and officially

concludes December 31, 2026.

After the festive fireworks, after the many majestic parades, and all the celebratory pomp and circumstance surrounding the USA's 250-year anniversary, Americans are taking time to remember the extraordinary contributions of our fellow countrymen and women who have brought us to this pivotal time in our history and have helped to make us who we are.

Black America 250 is a multiyear national media initiative spearheaded by Black Meetings & Tourism, LLC, in association with the National Policy Alliance.

Black America 250 exists to put the African American contribution to 250 years of this country on the permanent national archives. 

In the aftermath of the nation-wide celebration what remains is an invitation — to reflect on the true meaning of this moment, to move past ceremony and into reckoning. 

Black America 250  is built for this moment. It is a declaration issued on behalf of 250 years of people who built the roads, cultivated the fields, composed the music, fought the wars, and produced the moral leadership that forced this democracy to live up to its own ideals. It is a campaign for the record — for every textbook that left us out, every landmark that was never properly identified, every contribution that was taken without credit being given.
