About this Event
Black Money Movement Presents: The African Gala
Merle Manders Conference Center | 111 Davis Road, Stockbridge, GA. Friday, March 20, 2026 | 🕖 7:00 PM – 11:00 PM
When the time is right, it’s right. Sometimes we all need a moment before saying “yes,” and that’s perfectly okay. Time moves forward for us all, no matter how powerful or profound the call may be.
We are returning with gratitude - thankful for the grace extended to this vision and the incredible work it represents, created for the benefit of everyone.
This is our moment. No more waiting. And whether the second time shines as the charm or simply as another step in the journey, our prayers remain with all, that you may be blessed and favored by the Most High.
Peace and Blessings,
SB
"There are moments in history when a people must rise - not for comfort, not for recognition, but because the very soul of their existence demands it. We are living in such a moment now.
Black Money Movement’s African Gala is not just an event. It is a call to those whose hearts beat with passion, whose spirits will not bend under adversity, and whose love for our people runs deeper than fear. It is a gathering of visionaries, protectors, and builders - those who understand that freedom is not gifted, but guarded; that opportunity is not handed down, but forged in unity.
This is an invitation for those who feel the weight of our ancestors’ sacrifices and the urgency of our children’s futures. It is for those who understand that our rights, our dignity, and our rightful place in the next phase of human evolution cannot be negotiated away.
If you are someone who carries that fire… one who believes that our progress is worth more than any currency that people hold dear - then the African Gala is where you belong. We need you. Not tomorrow. Not next year. Now.
Together, we will do what our people have always done - rise. Join us at the African Gala and stand as part of the living legacy of the African American story. The actions we take—or fail to take—right now will shape the narrative that echoes through generations. May our story be remembered as one of triumph, not tragedy." -SB
