Kent Black Action Commission was born out of a need to have a forum for the African American Community to come together on issues that affect our community. Whether that need concerns education, community resources, the job market, politics, health, or social interests, KBAC is the place to be.
We are dedicated to sharing interests, issues, community concerns, activities, events and call to action the solutions which make all of our lives better.
OUR VISION
Our Vision is that the Kent Black Action Commission is highly successful in implementing its overall work plan and as a result the City of Kent and all of South King County will be held up as a bright beacon of accomplishment in the areas of social and economic justice. And the Black community, as well as the community-at-large is reaping the benefits of an improved quality of life that takes full advantage of the richness of our diversity.
OUR MISSION
We are the Kent Black Action Commission (KBAC) and our mission is to improve and promote the social, economic, political, spiritual and educational conditions of the Black Community in Kent, Washington and the South King County area.
