Beginning in 1969, and continuing through the entirety of their lives, Calvin and Wilhelmina Rolark worked to help people help themselves through United Black fund, Inc. Their historic battle to open the doors to charity Fundraising Campaigns for Black, Minority and Poor People Organizations paved the way for tens of thousands of Agencies that participate now in campaigns across the nation.
Today, UBF proudly works with more than 100 Member Agencies engaged in a daily struggle to combat conditions that dehumanize and reduce men, women and children throughout the area. We invite you to contact our organizations and speak with the dedicated men and women who make this great effort. They need your help and support... VOLUNTEER ... because nothing is more welcome than your helping hand... GIVE ... because it takes money to engage these problems successfully... PRAY... because that is the greatest power we know .
Please take a moment to read some of the outstanding essays selected from more than 600 participants in our nationwide Ending the Violence campaign. "Black History Invitational Swim Meet", "I Love Life" and "Back to School" programs continue to inspire and uplift thousands of youth and adults.
The times we live in present greater challenges than ever before...and We are all in this together... "We are the ones who make a Brighter Day"...WE CAN, and TOGETHER, WE WILL!

The Peace In Barry Farms celebration took place this past November 2012 to acknowledge The Barry Farms community for their achievement of a full year without a single neighborhood homicide or violence. That in itself is an achievement that should give all people hope for change here in Washington. Special guests include Gregory Baldwin, Mayor Vincent Gray, and the Barry Farms Beavers, the community football team. | I LOVE LIFE and I WANT TO LIVE The United Black Fund holds the Martin Luther King Jr. Peace and Freedom Walk annually on the day of the late Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. This year in particular, participants walked from the United Black Fund to Shepard Park, at the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue and Malcolm X Boulevard. This walk takes place to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the millions who struggled, often times at the price of their lives, to end slavery, abolish segregation, exercise the right to vote and those who now fight to secure statehood here in Washington, DC. We walk in hopes of inciting self-determination and pride in the people of our communities, to promote universal suffrage and to finally put an end to the war and violence that is tearing our people apart. This year we had the honor of having many special guest speakers such as Nick Cannon, Dick Gregory and Lonise Bias, to name a few. Peace in Barry Farms_ |
