Our Mission

Our mission is to combat racism through the arts.

Our Documentary

Where it all started

Through Black in Mayberry, Black people in the predominantly white town of El Segundo have set aside their inhibitions and made themselves vulnerable in order to share their truth. We hope that these short episodes (each 3-4 minutes) on topics rarely discussed publicly will create a safe and unfiltered opportunity to learn more about what it is to be Black in Mayberry.
