Welcome to My Block: RePublic Presents Black Wall Street is a celebration of community, family pride, and collective growth. More than an event, it is a moment for neighbors, families, and scholars to come together and celebrate what happens when communities invest in themselves.

Inspired by the legacy of Black Wall Street, Welcome to My Block honors local businesses, entrepreneurship, and the power of shared ownership. It reflects RePublic Schools’ commitment to building strong schools rooted in strong communities and creating spaces where families and scholars feel seen, valued, and connected.

Everyone is invited to step onto the block and take part in something meaningful.

What to expect:

  • A curated community marketplace featuring local vendors and creatives.
  • A warm, family-friendly atmosphere with music and activities for all ages.
  • A coat and food drive focused on giving back to neighbors in need.
  • A celebration of RePublic schools and scholars, placing students at the center of the experience.

Black Wall Street was never just about commerce, but about pride, possibility, and community ownership. Welcome to My Block carries that spirit forward by creating space where families, schools, and local businesses thrive together.

This is our block. And when we show up for it, everyone benefits.
