About PETALUMA BLACKS FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Petaluma Blacks for Community Development (PBCD) is a community-based 501(c)(3) organization that traces its roots to organized activity in Petaluma beginning in 1977 and later formalized as a tax-exempt nonprofit. PBCD’s stated mission is to preserve and share Black history and culture while fostering fellowship and leadership among Black residents and youth in Petaluma and the surrounding Sonoma County area.

PBCD operates cultural and educational programming (including a youth leadership program), annual community events, and public-history activities. In recent years the organization has continued regular public programming—such as community picnics, Black History Month exhibits and youth leadership cohorts—and has partnered with local civic and cultural institutions to increase visibility of local Black history and offer leadership opportunities for teens.
