The Black Men's Legacy Summit V - "Legacy Under Fire"

The 5th Annual Black Men’s Legacy Summit, presented by 9000 Equities, brings Black men together for a powerful day of fellowship, conversation, connection, and action centered around one important question:

What legacy are we building for our families and communities?

This year’s theme, Legacy Under Fire—Stand Your Ground, challenges us to consider how we protect what previous generations have built while creating new opportunities for those who come next.

Throughout the day, we’ll explore legacy from multiple perspectives—from family and the next generation to economic opportunity, health, civic engagement, and the future of our communities.

Topics include:

• Black Fathers and Their Sons
  Strengthening relationships, responsibility, mentorship, and the legacy passed from one generation to the next.
• Next In Line: Our Turn to Build
  Giving the next generation a voice in the conversation about opportunity, leadership, wealth, and the future they want to create.
• The Collective Kitchen
  A conversation centered on connection, collaboration, and what can happen when we come together to strengthen our families and communities.
• Thriving Economic Opportunities to Build Legacies
  Exploring pathways to economic opportunity, entrepreneurship, homeownership, and long-term wealth building.
• Health is Wealth
  Examining the connection between health, wellness, longevity, and our ability to build and sustain a lasting legacy.
• Politics and Legacy
  Exploring civic engagement, policy, and how decisions made today can affect families, communities, ownership, and opportunity for generations to come.

Dr. Cornel West will deliver this year’s keynote address, “The State of the Nation,” addressing issues including DEI, voting power, and access to ownership.

This is more than a day of conversation. It is an opportunity to connect, learn, identify resources, and consider practical ways to build, protect, and sustain a legacy for our families and communities.
