About Us
Blacks, Whites and Blues Festival
The organization was reorganized during March 2017 as a nonprofit organization. We employ music to unite members of the community in the city of Springfield with small businesses in our home state of Illinois. Our mission is to strengthen the community’s physical health, social change, and economic growth and development through education, counseling, advocacy, and monetary support.
