An example of adjacent communities where there is a presence of continuous blocks between them with predominantly black and/or diverse blocks with a substantial black population is the southern end of Greenlawn/the western/SW end of Elwood in the town of Huntington in Suffolk County NY on Long Island. It is essentially the area south of Little Plains Road/west of Manor Road/north of East Jericho Turnpike and east of Park Avenue and Dix Hills Road.
While this is data from 2010, here are some blocks in both of those communities and within that area(at 20% and higher)...
So, you may also have an area like this one, that has a pretty high black resident presence and is split up between communities and/or school districts.

I know all about the black Boston ski clubs, and their BHM excursions and MLK DAY excursions. Some of my private school and Jack and Jill friends went on them. I wasn't in that class bracket..but I had heard.
I knew of Double Diamond from my time at Trinity College
Area Served
The states of Connecticut and south central Massachusetts with members from the Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport and Springfield (MA) regions
Never heard of CT Soul Ski though.
I don't think NYC Sip thing is the same. That would be more in line with Litework Events in Boston. And events company, not a Wine Festival- there's a Carribean Wine and Music Festival in Maryland that is like New England Noir.
BlacOak in Philly is similar but you dont need to be a paid member to attend New England Noir whereas you do to attend BlacOak.
New England's event put a heavy emphasis on music and will have a music selection curated by Bryan-Michael Cox this year. Also, looks like it was started in 2021.

Note to self: whenever I manage to head to Fire Island again, make it a point to get off the Southern State Parkway or make an intermediate stop on the LIRR to Sayville and check out one of these places.
