The July/August 2026 issue of Black Meetings & Tourism will be a special magazine edition showcasing the Black America 250 ™ ( www.theblackamerica250.org )  national media /marketing initiative which commemorates the USA’s Semiquincentennial, the 250th anniversary of the signing of the declaration of Independence.  This initiative shifts the pervasive paradigm of Black America’s non-existent contribution to this nation -- reclaiming our place central to the narrative. It highlights the journey of African Americans in this country, weaving together stories of struggle and perseverance, 

achievement and triumphs. Black America  250 ™ invites all Americans to explore and embrace the diverse tapestry of our nation’s true history. 

Warmest regards,
