Welcome to Black In Mayberry

Where Art Meets Activism

What We Do


We combat racism through the transformative power of the arts.


We fuse art with activism to advocate for equality, inspire solution-driven action, and uplift Black voices. From art therapy and photography to exhibitions and community events, we empower artists and audiences to confront systemic issues and drive change.

Our Mission

Our mission is to combat racism through the arts. Through art and education, Black in Mayberry builds awareness, challenges racist constructs, and advocates for human rights and social justice in the United States. We are at the intersection where art meets activism, combining forces to keep the desperate need for equality and justice at the forefront of America’s conscience.

The Documentary

“Black in Mayberry” is a gripping documentary series that sheds light on the lived experiences of African Americans navigating predominantly white spaces. Through candid storytelling, the film reveals the often unseen and unimaginable ways racism impacts their daily lives. These powerful, rarely shared stories reflect a common reality for many Black people, offering an intimate look at the emotional and systemic challenges they face. The documentary sparks vital conversations around race, identity, and the urgent need for change.
