Our mission is to combat racism through the arts. We are the intersection where art meets activism, combining forces to keep the desperate need for equality and justice at the forefront of America’s conscience.
Through art and education, Black in Mayberry builds awareness, challenge constructs that uphold racism and advocate for human rights and social justice in the United States.
Let’s celebrate freedom in unity with a joyous festival in the park. See our Junteenth page for full details on our 2024 Juneteenth program.
This year’s exclusive Black in Mayberry Juneteenth limited edition T-shirts are a great way to celebrate Juneteenth and support a nonprofit organization with the purpose of promoting equality and liberty.
Our kid’s t-shirt are a unique design that matches the adult t-shirts and empower children to activate their inner superhero for equality and justice.
Through Black in Mayberry, Black people in the predominantly white town of El Segundo have set aside their inhibitions and made themselves vulnerable in order to share their truth. We hope that these short episodes (each 3-4 minutes) on topics rarely discussed publicly will create a safe and unfiltered opportunity to learn more about what it is to be Black in Mayberry.
