About Us
"We shall overcome. We shall overcome. Deep in my heart I do believe we shall overcome. And I believe it because somehow the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice."
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
African Americans, one of the largest of the many ethnic groups in the United States are mainly of African ancestry. They are largely the descendants of enslaved people who were brought from their African homelands by force to work in the New World.
Their rights were severely limited, and they were long denied a rightful share in the economic, social, and political progress of the United States. Nevertheless, with sheer determination, resilience and the innate belief that they were not inferior, African American people fought for their right to be counted as equals in their enslaved land.
For over 400 years from 1619 to 2019, that journey was filled with some of the worst human rights violations and atrocities that a people could face but it was also met with undeniable accomplishments that have sealed the mind power, will, talent and fighting spirit that lives within the African American people.
This organization serves to always remind us, not only of the struggle of African American people, but mostly of their accomplishments, their overcoming spirit and to celebrate those accomplishments while reaching back to our communities and fatherland to help those in need and share in the bounty of our unlimited success and celebrate the unknown yet to be created in the future.
// Our Guiding Objectives
We exist to organize the faith, civic, educational, athletic, economic, political health communities and families into a unified group to celebrate four hundred years of African American life in the United States of America from 1919-2019.
1. To celebrate the accomplishments over the four hundred years.
3. To restore forgotten landmarks in African American communities
5. To address social needs in the Black community (family empowerment, helping at risk youths, teaching job readiness skills and substance abuse issues).
2. To educate the present generation on the past and prepare the race for surviving successfully another four hundred yers.
4. To establish an scholarship education fund for deserving students.
6. To establish a chronological trail to mark significant geographic locations and events of the struggles of African Americans in the United States from 1619-2019.
