Our Mission

A BLACK LIFE CLASS COLLOQUIUM BECAUSE: ALL BLACK LIVES MATTER

To change the perception of 'Black Life' in America through a conceptualization of authentic history and contemporary realities...relating to all peoples.

​

Introduction:

This presentation series, via Virtual productions, includes specific aspects about Black Life, FROM AFRICA TO AMERICA, since its beginning to the present time. It consists of the national narrative being lived out today about historical misunderstandings of implicit and explicit structural racism in our great American society, including extraordinary historical finds, intriguing information about WHO WE ARE AS BLACK OLKS, social justice, inequities, as well as reflections and actions for healing and redemption.
 

In America – there has been a lack of valuing the history, life and plight of “Black Life”, dating back more than 400 years; and today, ALL of America would tremendously benefit from knowing the subject matter.

Goal: To actively live out the practice of America coming together, psychologically, as well as socially through intentionally learning and understanding “Black Lives”.

Objective: To intentionally uncover, digest, understand, value, and promote the psyche of “Black Life” in America.
