Defining Pro-Black

by Cyndi Suarez

“What does pro-Black mean? What are the characteristics of a pro-Black organization? What would a pro-Black sector sound, look, taste, and feel like?” This article looks at the fieldwide shift from critiquing white supremacist culture and calling out anti-Blackness to designing for pro-Blackness.

Defining Pro-Black is from NPQ's spring 2022 magazine Going Pro-Black: What Would a Pro-Black Sector Sound, Look, Taste, and Feel Like? 

This issue moves beyond DEI (bodies at the table), racial equity (measuring POC against white people), and perhaps even racial justice (the righting of racial wrongs), to an actual focus on what Black people need to thrive (building pro-Black).
