“Cultivating a space for African Americans to engage with the history of the leaders that preceded us is
of the utmost importance. Justice Sunday is a space for us to reflect, reaffirm, and remember our charge
on this earth,” explained Executive Director, Ms. Addie Richburg.
The 400 YAAHC recently awarded $150,000 in Network to Freedom grants to 26 existing and prospective listings in 10 states plus Washington, D.C., to document, preserve and interpret Underground Railroad history.

On December 02, 2022, the National Black Caucus of State Legislators (NBCSL) presented its David P.
Richardson, Jr. National Nation Builder Award to the 400 YAAHC at the 46th Annual Legislative
Conference Gala Award Dinner in Las Vegas, Nevada as fighters for truth and justice.

The 400 YAAHC National Student Ambassadors Saniya Gay, the inaugural National Miss Juneteenth, and Tybre Faw, a mentee of the late Congressman John Lewis will co-host the one-hour virtual watch party beginning at 4:45 pm, EST, on Sunday, January 15, 2023, for Justice Sunday Service Around the Clock.
