History of Black Marriage Day
It Takes Two!
March 25, 2012
Black Marriage Day 2011 was incredible. All across the country amazing events were held to celebrate marriage in the Black community. If you missed this year get ready for next year as we prepare for our tenth anniversary in 2013. Join us March 25, 2012 as more than 300 communities and neighborhoods across the country organize events to celebrate marriage in the Black community.
There are many things you can do. Visit the Resources page for ideas and documents you can download to enhance your event. Listen to Super Bowl winning Coach Tony Dungy speak about Black Marriage Day.
Consider inducting couples into your Black Marriage Day Marriage Hall of Fame. Many cities held fabulous events last year that told the joy and pain of couples struggling against odds to have wedded bliss. We give you everything you need to have a memorable event. Find details on the Resources page.
Any entity, individual or family interested in celebrating the joy of marriage in the Black community can host a Black Marriage Day event. Organize couples in your family, social or work group to stand up on Black Marriage Day and celebrate marriage. The goal is to change the hearts and minds of the Black community to cherish and celebrate the marriages that we currently have while encouraging others to commit themselves to marriage so more children grow up with the gift of a two parent family.
