Black Blockchain Summit 2021 (4th Annual)
The fourth summit marked a return as a hybrid event, spanning three days with activities both on Howard University’s campus and online. Co-hosted by pan-African freelance platform AfriBlocks, the 2021 summit was devoted to developing blockchain-based solutions for challenges facing Black communities. Under the continued theme of “Reparations and Revolutions,” it served as a vital meeting place for Black entrepreneurs, technologists, and thought leaders to collaborate on real-world blockchain applications. Keynotes and panels addressed topics such as building market-ready blockchain products, expanding financial access with crypto, and strategies for leveraging blockchain to foster economic justice. This hybrid format broadened the summit’s reach, connecting in-person attendees with a global virtual audience in a unified conversation on empowerment through technology.
