Our History

Our Mission

Our Mission

The Kemp–Jones Initiative exists to honor Black American ancestors whose survival and progress were built through community and shared responsibility.


Long before access to capital or institutions, our people persevered through intentional reinvestment.

While disparities persist,  we exist to restore a lineage-informed tradition of reinvesting in our own.
