Saturday August 28th marks the fourth year the Young, Black & Giving Back Institute is encouraging financial donations to Black-led and Black-benefitting non-profits across the country. The annual event is called “Give828.” Arkansas civil rights activist Patricia Kienzle says many black nonprofits benefit. She is founder of the historic Lee Street Community Center in Elaine, Arkansas the site of a 1919 race massacre. The community center is in need of building restoration supplies. Secure donations can be made to Black nonprofits through the Give828 portal.
