Carrol Waymon, educator and champion of racial equality, 1925-2020

Please come and pay respects to this San Diego legend!

A viewing will be held 5 p.m. Jan. 23 at Anderson-Ragsdale Funeral Home, 5050 Federal Blvd., San Diego.

A funeral service is planned for 11 a.m. Jan. 24 at Bethel Baptist Church, 1962 Euclid Ave., San Diego.

“To be Black in San Diego,” Waymon wrote in “On Being Black in San Diego — Anytown USA,” his 2004 book, “is to forever wonder why, on the one hand, this is such a great place to live, and on the other hand feel so isolated and depressed at the same time. Why is it that so many Blacks in all walks and successful levels in this town feel that so few things have brought so little positive change?”

A lifelong jazz aficionado, Waymon spent decades on the Jackie Robinson YMCA board, volunteered with Somali Youth United, and late in life became co-owner of Awash, an Ethiopian restaurant in San Diego. Among his numerous honors was the KPBS “Local Hero” award and the Jackie Robinson YMCA’s Human Dignity Award, both bestowed in 2013

After earning a Ph.D in education, Waymon founded what is now known as the Africana Studies Department at San Diego State University. In 1977, he began a 33-year association with Mesa College, teaching psychology, sociology and anthropology.

The UNCF San Diego campaign in collaboration with the HBCU Alumni of San Diego, as part of UNCF Los Angeles, is pleased to co-host HBCU Weekend. The weekend’s events are comprised of the UNCF Gala on Friday, January 24, followed by the HBCU Expo for college aspiring junior high and high school students and their families at the Jacobs Center on Saturday, January 25.

GENERAL MEETING – OPEN TO ALL

Black Men United is comprised of black men and those who support black men. Members are those who participate in the organization’s activities; live, work, and serve in the organization’s community; advocate for justice on behalf of the organization’s community; and seek to give voice to those without voice. Members are people of faith, clergy, and representatives of diverse, non-profit and community organizations.

Based in San Diego’s 4th Council District, Black Men United’s community is African-American people, African immigrants, American Indian, Latino, and others who, by experience, consciousness and culture, empathize with the black experience.

Black Men United’s vision is to serve as a unifying, empowering and moral influence in its community.

Black Men United’s purpose is convene, guide and galvanize black men (and those who support black men) to enable and empower its members and its community to address their relevant spiritual, individual, interpersonal, societal needs.

Black Men United’s activities and achievements reflect a commitment to faith, constancy, individual and community development, justice, and inclusion. Much of BMU’s work is accomplished through its Committees.
