Black Family Reunion History
The Black Family Reunion Celebration was inaugurated in 1989 in Cincinnati, Ohio. This event continues to grow and is now one of Cincinnati’s largest family-focused events drawing over 20,000 patrons. It is held annually on the third weekend of August. Conceived by Dr. Dorothy I. Height, President Emerita of the National Council of Negro Women, the Black Family Reunion Celebration is a 3-day cultural weekend event which brings consumers, corporations, and communities together to focus on the historic strengths and values of the Black Family. The National Council of Negro Women is dedicated to ensuring that the historic morals of the Black family are showcased and reinforced through responsive and innovative community service programs, such as the Black Family Reunion Celebration. Dr. Dorothy L. HeightTracey Artis, Executive Director
Ever since she can remember, Tracey Artis sensed her life’s calling was to help bring people together for common good and to make a difference. After receiving a bachelor of science degree in communications from Ohio University, she moved to Atlanta and launched her career with several jobs in corporate America. Artis’s life changed direction when she met Bryron Cage, an up-and-coming recording artist, through her church—and began working with him. Her passion for the Gospel music industry was ignited, and she never looked back. ((Read More))Family of the Year
