Black travel summit to launch National Black Travel Day

National Black Travel Day is set for Nov. 11 as a day for Black travelers and travel professionals to celebrate diversity and culture in travel. The Miami-based Black Travel Summit is launching a National Black Travel Day celebration on Nov. 11 as “a day for Black travelers and travel professionals to celebrate” diversity and culture in travel, said Anita Francois, the organization’s CEO and founder.

Francois selected Nov. 11 for National Black Travel Day to honor the birth date of Jamaican-American pilot Barrington Irving Jr., who in 2007 became the first Black person to fly around the world solo. National Black Travel Day will kick off with a private launch event at the Red Rooster Overtown restaurant in Miami’s historically Black Overtown neighborhood, which has previously hosted Black American icons including Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali and Ella Fitzgerald.
