Our Work
The Boxser Diversity Initiative (BDI) builds bridges of understanding across Southwest Florida's diverse communities.
Through education, cultural programming, and community events, we create spaces for meaningful dialogue about the social issues that matter most to our Southwest Florida region. Our work brings people together to learn, reflect, and strengthen connections that unite us across differences.
We recognize and celebrate the history and contributions of African Americans in Manatee County through historical markers and educational resources, highlighting stories of resilience, achievement, and cultural significance.

Sparking Conversations & Building Understanding Across Southwest Florida's Diverse Communities
Through education, dialogue, and cultural programming, the Boxser Diversity Initiative elevates voices from around the world—bringing scholars, thought leaders, and changemakers to our region. Our talks, film screenings, exhibits, and events explore the urgent social issues of our time and inspire meaningful conversation, learning, and connection.
