The NBUF building in 1995

Over the years the NBUF building has provided meeting and organizing space for numerous groups, projects, causes and efforts. The facility has been used for storage and distribution of humanitarian aid following Allison, Katrina, Ike and the earthquake in Haiti.  A number of community food drives have also been implemented at the site. Providing people of African descent with proper historical and cultural information through a library, study circle and guest speakers have been a staple of the organization.

We believe that given the great diversity of issues and opportunities facing Africans in American communities that this should be a day of  focus and positive action for our overall uplift.

In 2011, I am confident it is crystal clear to us if there is  “No Pain! No Gain!”
