The Black Conservative Summit 2025

BLACK FAMILES MATTER: A CONSERVATIVE CALL FOR NATIONAL ACTION

Overview:
The 2025 Black Conservative Summit (BCS) at the Q Center in St. Charles, IL, will serve as a platform to address critical issues affecting the Black family and its broader impact on society, focusing on catalyzing a Black Conservative movement in the Midwest. The summit will examine the disintegration of the Black family, its effects on education, crime, inner-city dysfunction, and the long-term consequences on voting patterns within the Black Christian community.

Key Themes and Objectives:

  1. The disintegration of the Black Family:
   Objective: Explore the root causes of family disintegration and offer a conservative vision for reversing this trend by strengthening family values, mainly focusing on the role of fathers and the importance of marriage.
   Expected Outcomes: Increased awareness of how government welfare policies have exacerbated family breakdown, strategies for promoting family formation, and community-driven initiatives to rebuild the family structure.

2. Education:
   Objective: Address the adverse effects of broken families on education and propose conservative educational reforms, including school choice and parental rights, to help reverse this trajectory.
   Expected Outcomes: A focus on advocating for school vouchers, homeschooling options, and charter schools, as well as fostering a culture of academic excellence in Black communities.

3. Crime and Inner-City Dysfunction:
   Objective: Analyze how the breakdown of family structures contributes to inner-city crime and dysfunction—present policies emphasizing personal responsibility, economic empowerment, and local law enforcement reform.
   Expected Outcomes: A shift in policy discussions away from victimhood and toward individual accountability, community policing, and youth mentorship programs.

4. Galvanizing a Black Conservative Movement in the Midwest:
   Objective: Foster collaboration among Black Conservative groups to build a regional movement that shifts voting patterns among Black Christians.
   Expected Outcomes: Establish the Midwest as a pivotal region in the Black Conservative movement, positioning Black voters as crucial swing voters in national elections.
