Bettye Davis African American Summit on Health & Equity

Continuing the legacy of the late state senator Bettye Davis, the Alaska Black Caucus proudly presents the annual Bettye Davis African American Summit. This event brings together the Black community and other people of color in conversation and action to make Alaska a better place for everyone.

February 18, 2023

Bettye Davis East Anchorage High School

The Summit provides a forum for the Black community to educate policy makers and the public about not just the issues facing BIPOC people but also the solutions we want to see. The Summit addresses critical issues of public policy in the areas of economics, justice, education, and health. It is the principal gathering place, idea generator, and voice for the Black community in Alaska. You don’t want to miss it!

Thanks to the generous support of our community partners and donors, the Alaska Black Caucus proud to announce the Equity Center, coming soon to Downtown Anchorage. 

The Center will provide office space and centralized services and programs to support our BIPOC community. The facility purchase was made possible by a volunteer-led effort to raise donations to match funds previously granted for the project.

It’s not too late to contribute to our vision for the Equity Center. We welcome your support towards renovations of the facility as we look forward to the Grand Opening… stay tuned for more! 

Please contribute if you can or contact us if you would like to join the team of extraordinary volunteers who will lead this historic effort to fruition.
