The Federal Way Black Collective recently held a celebration of Black history in the city. The event was held separately from other Juneteenth events to give it the space and time it deserved. The organizers aimed to create an inclusive event where people from all walks of life could come together to celebrate, learn, and connect.

The event highlighted the contributions of the Conna family, one of the founding Black families in Federal Way. John Conna, a political activist and advocate for social and civil rights, was able to acquire 160 acres of land in the city at a time when this was extremely difficult for Black people. He also fought for women's suffrage and improved infrastructure in the area.

The Federal Way Black Collective is a social justice organization that provides essential services to the community, particularly those facing hardship. The organization is made up of dedicated individuals who have witnessed the struggles faced by the Black community in Federal Way and are committed to making a difference.

The collective has been instrumental in advocating for positive change in the city. Their work has led to the elimination of programs that were ineffective or discriminatory. They continue to work tirelessly to ensure that Federal Way is a welcoming and equitable city for all.
