About this Event
On Our Block is more than an event, it’s a moment for our community to come together, support one another, and celebrate what happens when families invest in their own neighborhood. Inspired by the legacy of Black Wall Street, On Our Block honors the power of local businesses, family pride, and collective growth. This is about building something together — right here, with the people who make our schools and community strong.
Whether you’re a family, scholar, vendor, or neighbor, you’re invited to step onto the block and be part of something meaningful.

- 🎒 Giving Back Together: This event includes a coat drive and food drive, because showing up for our block also means taking care of one another.
- 🏫 A Celebration of Our Schools & Scholars: Meet families, staff, and community members who believe in education, opportunity, and belonging. Our scholars are at the center of everything we do.
Why “On Our Block”?
Black Wall Street was never just about business, but actually about community ownership, pride, and possibility. On Our Block carries that same spirit forward by creating space where families, schools, and local businesses thrive together.
This is our block.
And when we show up for it, everyone benefits.
