Black Men and Women United Weekly Meeting @ The San Diego Voice & Viewpoint Office
Feb 11 @ 8:00 am

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.

FREE Tuesday Talk: Movers & Shakers of Black San Diego @ San Diego History Center 1
Feb 11 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

FREE TUESDAY TALK: MOVERS & SHAKERS OF BLACK SAN DIEGO

San Diego has always been a diverse town, even before San Diego became incorporated as a city.  African Americans have contributed to San Diego for more than a century.  This presentation highlights the many African Americans and their contributions to the city of San Diego.

Yvette Porter-Moore is a native Californian who has been conducting genealogy research since 1991 when she successfully found her birth mother, and then in 1994 found her birth father’s side of the family.
Her interest in family research developed over time when her mother requested her assistance in researching her ancestry for a memoir she was writing. This little request led Yvette on a conquest in various cities, counties and states throughout the U.S.
Yvette holds a certificate in Genealogical Research from Boston University, holds various certificates from the Mid-Western African American Genealogy Institute, has a certificate in forensic genealogy. Yvette earned her Paralegal Certificate from the University of San Diego. Yvette earned degrees in Human Development and Cross Cultural Studies. She continues her education by attending various genealogy conferences, taking online courses, and attending webinars.
Yvette is the San Diego High School Alumni Association Historian, and a member of the San Diego African American Genealogy Research Group, and founder of the Delilah L. Beasley Historical Society.
