A Fundraising Gala to Build The Black Inventors Hall of Fame Museum
Join us on Thursday, July 16, 2026, for a landmark evening as the Black Inventors Hall of Fame hosts its 2nd Annual Induction Ceremony & Fundraising Gala at the prestigious Rubenstein Forum at the University of Chicago.
This unforgettable night will celebrate the visionary men and women whose inventions have shaped industries, transformed daily life, and expanded the boundaries of human possibility. Through powerful storytelling, cinematic honoree tributes, and a gathering of leaders across technology, education, philanthropy, and culture, we honor the legacy of Black ingenuity.
This year’s ceremony also serves a vital purpose:
raising support to build the permanent BIHOF Museum & Innovation Campus — a national home for the preservation, celebration, and advancement of Black innovation.
Your attendance directly fuels this mission to build the nation's first museum honoring Black Innovation
