Recording Studio Fundraiser
Today, We Call on You, Our Friends and Our Community, to help us raise $10,000 to build out a recording studio in our new home, Trinity Episcopal Church.
The recording booths will allow us to continue our youth-led music and arts programs to help replace negative music with that which is clean, uplifting, inspirational, and still appealing to younger generations. ABJ is a 501c3 organization and your donation may be tax deductible in accordance with the law.
Any gift, any amount is appreciated.

Bronzeville, The Black Metropolis
The Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey deemed August 31st an international holiday for Blacks around the world in 1920. ABJ relocated out of the South Shore community and into Greater Bronzeville on August 31, 2021. We were forced to move during a devastating worldwide pandemic out of the space where our organization was housed for 22 years. Yet, we paused that day to celebrate the Black International Holiday. We are humbled to have relocated to Bronzeville, which is known as “The Black Metropolis, The Black Belt, that produced many cultural greats including musical greats Sam Cook, Louis Armstrong, Nat “King” Cole, Quincy Jones, Dinah Washington, and Herbie Hancock as well as gospel music pioneers Mahalia Jackson and Thomas A. Dorsey, choreographer phenomenon Catherine Dunham, pioneer of aviation Bessie Coleman, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gwendolyn Brooks, and activist and writer Ida B. Wells who now has a local expressway named in her memory.
