myNationalEvents: NCNW Black Family Reunion Celebration Sept 12-13, 2009 in DC

24th Annual
National Council of Negro Women, Inc.
Black Family Reunion Celebration

September 12-13, 2009
National Mall
Washington, DC

In 1986, in response to the negative publicity regarding “the vanishing Black family,” Dorothy I. Height, Chair of the National Council of Negro Women, developed an idea for a positive, culturally-based event that would celebrate the enduring strengths and traditional values of the African American family.

Most importantly, this event would serve as a rallying point for government agencies, private and public sector institutions, corporations, community-based organizations, and families of all ethnicities to work together on solutions to the issues affecting families.

Saturday features the official Opening Ecumenical Prayer Breakfast, all-day themed pavilions which showcase celebrities, prominent experts, performing artists and product promotions. Saturday closes with an evening R&B concert on the National Mall. Sunday features all-day themed pavilions and closes with an evening gospel concert on the National Mall.
