About Black Family Day Black Family Day has been bringing all people together, since 1996, in unity,
peace, and love to inspire and strengthen family ties and recognize the
tremendous contributions of Black Families to this nation. The rural city
government of Reidsville misunderstood organizers motives and did not accept
the program at its inception. Founder, Amon Muhammad, and supporters rallied
against the opposition and eventually filed suit in federal court for civil
rights violations. The city ultimately yielded in 2000.
Included are day of workshops, gospel, R&B,
Hip-Hop, spoken word artists, spiritual & civic leaders. Vendors from all
over the region bring arts, crafts, and products of interest to the Black community.
Ethnic and traditional menus are on hand in the food village. The FamilyFunVillage will feature games,
bounces, face painting, and more.
