#DREAMBIG
Our primary message we work to deliver through our platform is, “Dream Big”. It will appears in all of our messaging and promotion leading up to this year’s celebration on Saturday June 15 and Sunday June 16, 2019. To enhance the message, the festival planning committee is creating banners, posters and flyers featuring African Americans who have new standards through high achievement and Dreaming Big.
