James Webb was born the youngest of 5 children to James Sr and Valerie Webb in Gary, IN. James is a proud graduate of the Emerson School for the Visual and Performing Arts, a graduate from Indiana State University, and is a current MBA student at the Lacy School of Business at Butler University. With a father as an educator, James Webb surrounded himself with books and cultural education since a youth. It was in 1996 that he credits falling completely in love with black culture when his mother gave him a book called 1001 Things Everyone Should Know About African American History by Jeffrey Stewart. From there his library grew and he became a fountain of African American information.
He credits his wife Twjonia (Tawana) Webb and his children Priest, Jaeda, and Lyric Webb with motivating him to continue to make change and educate on black culture. James Webb is currently the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Indy Juneteenth Inc. An organization dedicated to educating on black culture, celebrating Juneteenth and changing the narrative of our at-risk youth. He also proudly holds the title of the Indiana State Director of the National Juneteenth Observance Foundation, the country’s oldest organization dedicated to educating on Juneteenth and is credited for making Juneteenth a national holiday.
