# Event Details - **Event Name**: Voices Of Victory: Black Political Influence Through History - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 15 Mar, 2026 at 03:00 pm - **Event Description**: Voice of Victory: Black Political Influence Through History isn’t just an event: it’s a living archive, a call to remember, and a spark for what comes next. Through powerful storytelling, bold political insight, and community-centered dialogue, Voices of Victory platforms essential voices from the Black community to explore how influence, resistance, and vision have shaped history. From trailblazers like Shirley Chisholm, who redefined leadership and representation, to literary and cultural giants like James Baldwin, whose words challenged America to confront itself, this experience brings landmark figures off the page and into the present moment. In addition to honoring historical giants, Voices of Victory bridges past and present by creating access to today’s leaders. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet and engage with current federal, state, and local political candidates who are actively serving and advocating for the Black community. This is a rare chance to connect directly with those shaping policy now, ask meaningful questions, and understand how today’s movements are being built on the foundations laid by those who came before. Attendees will engage with stories of courage, strategy, and truth-telling. Stories that didn’t just respond to history, but changed it. This is a space to honor legacy, amplify modern voices, and connect past movements to today’s political and social landscape. If you believe our stories matter, our voices carry power, and our history is a blueprint for the future, this is an event you don’t want to miss. Join us. Listen deeply. Leave inspired and ready to carry the victory forward, on to Election Day on March 17th just two days later! Your voice, your history, your future.
