Welcome
Background
African, Caribbean, and Black Community members from across Durham Region have shared countless stories about their experiences with anti-Black racism, a lack of access to responsive and reflective community resources, and decolonized spaces to gather.
In October 2020, Durham Region sought to identify strategies to address the prevalence of anti – Black racism within the Region. Through the Anti-Black Racism Pillar, it was identified that there was a need for community collaborations, particularly as a means of centering Black voices.
The Durham Community Collective aspires to develop a Black community hub founded on disrupting and dismantling the harmful impacts of anti-Black racism, highlighting Black accomplishments and creating spaces for the growth, development and the overall well-being of Black communities in Durham Region.
