Black Flea Market

The PZ Black Flea is a student-led event that brings together Black entrepreneurs, artists, and creatives to sell their work and intentionally take up space at a predominantly white institution. The event creates a visible, affirming platform where Black students and
community members can showcase their creativity and businesses while engaging the broader Pitzer and Claremont Colleges communities. As both a cultural and economic space, the Black Flea centers Black presence, creativity, and entrepreneurship in an
institutional setting where such visibility is often limited. In addition to supporting vendors, the event features student DJs, photographers, and organizers, offering paid, experiential opportunities in creative and professional development. The Black Flea is a
newer BSU tradition that strengthens community, challenges exclusion, and affirms Black student leadership and belonging on campus.
