State of the Black Family conference held at Augusta church
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Antioch Baptist Church hosted resources and conversations Saturday morning during the State of the Black Family conference.
The annual conference provides resources and solutions to issues that black families are facing.
The organizers said the event is an opportunity for the community to speak about things to strengthen the community.
They say the conference is a time for people to come together and breathe.
“Like when I think about this conference, as long as it’s a pause for a second, there is so much going around in general. But the moment to be able to pause and be a minority group, and as people in general to be able to sit and talk about, ‘Hey, this is what’s going on,’ and being able to pause and have that dialogue. So it’s important to all of us because it’s strengthened if the black family or minority families are strengthened, it helps the whole community as a whole, and we all can breathe,” said Carmen Lejune Coleman.
