Objective:
The Freeman Institute Foundation wants to help establish
Black
History galleries in communities across America and selected cities
internationally. Purpose:
to educate and inspire young people with the "C.P.A.
CONCEPT".
Capturing
Hearts & Minds through the
inspiration received from and knowledge contained in
Return To Glory resources (film, book, etc.). A combined strategic focus
on this step, will allow RTG to be even more deliberate in
achieving its goal of changing the distorted image of Black
people by starting from their ancient beginnings instead of
the traditional starting points of slavery, colonization or
apartheid.
Proving the Point
with documents and
artifacts.Phase One has been completed by the development of
The Freeman Institute Black History Collection of 3,000+ documents &
artifacts -- with many already being exhibited
online. The following, more comprehensive Phases will be implemented once
a few Black History Gallery sites are located and additional finances are
secured. Verification of the history will be
established through collections and exhibitions of genuine historical
documents and artifacts from the respective nation in which the Foundation has a
presence.
Affecting Change
&
Future Life Goals is realized through
partnerships with national and community-based service
organizations with missions to impact behavior and alter
life outcomes. The Foundation's desire is to assist by
providing resources to help facilitate the kind of lasting change that
will help individuals realize their true potential, regardless of race,
gender or generation. Any ideas?
