About

For over 50 years, Black Family Day has been a free annual event in which students and families gather at the Quad in the warm spring air to celebrate Black excellence, empowerment and community at UC Davis.

Throughout the day, speakers and entertainers commemorate the achievements of the Black community and cultivate discussion about contemporary issues. A variety of local vendors offer delicious food and shopping experiences. Organizations and clubs join the festivities to share information and host engaging activities.

All are welcome to community event, so bring the whole family to relax, enjoy good food, dance to joyful music and celebrate the resilience, diversity and openness of Black culture.

Artwork by Djeffterline Jean-Philippe

Message From the Artist

My name is Djeffterline Jean-Philippe, I draw for fun. Psych major and first year. I really appreciate getting the opportunity to put my art out there especially in the black community where black art isn't as represented. To me, this art piece means community, doing something I like while also serving a purpose.
