Black Wellness Week is a statewide celebration of health, resilience, and community power. For five days each April, organizations across Washington come together to offer health education, wellness resources, and spaces where Black communities are seen, heard, and cared for. We stand in a tradition that stretches back more than a century. In 1915, Booker T. Washington launched National Negro Health Week - a grassroots movement where Black churches, schools, and organizations organized every April to promote wellness and preventive care. That tradition ended in 1951. We’re bringing it back.
