The Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People (DCABP) hosts its Annual Banquet as a signature event that brings together civic leaders, community advocates, and supporters to celebrate progress, unity, and the ongoing work toward equity and justice in Durham and beyond. Held each year in August, the banquet serves as both a fundraiser and a moment of reflection, highlighting the Committee’s legacy and honoring individuals and organizations making significant contributions to the African American community.

A cornerstone of the banquet is the presentation of DCABP Student Scholarships, awarded to exceptional local high school seniors who demonstrate academic excellence, leadership potential, and a strong commitment to community service. These scholarships are an investment in the next generation of changemakers, helping to alleviate financial barriers to higher education and encouraging continued civic engagement.

The event includes inspiring keynote speakers, recognition of community leaders, and opportunities to connect with others committed to social and economic justice. Proceeds from the banquet directly support DCABP’s advocacy work and the scholarship fund.
