THE UNITY BLAZE
The Unity Blaze is the campfire at the heart of our logo. It represents the oldest form of light, heat, cooking, safety, comfort and community.
Since ancient times, people have gathered around fires for protection, nourishment, and warmth, and to share stories, thoughts, hopes, and dreams. Black Folks Camp Too has elevated the Unity Blaze as a symbol of Unity in the Outdoor Community and BEYOND.
It means "You are Invited and Welcomed" — your race, age, religion, gender and abilities are recognized and respected.
We are changing the world... one campfire at a time, Folks.
- Earl B. Hunter, Jr.
