The event is sponsored by Black Power Chronicles (BPC), whose purpose is "to cast an introspective historic lens on the movement as experienced in communities, nationally and internationally from the perspective of those Black Power veterans and supporters who helped shape the ideas, programs and legacy."
BPC is both honoring and continuing the legacy of The New Thing Art & Architecture Center, founded in DC c1967 by Topper Carew, with its focus on young people.
