"There is nothing wrong with going back to fetch what one has forgotten."  -- Ashanti saying

This Collection is owned by The Freeman Institute -- We plan to open African American history galleries in major American cities and selected cities internationally. Our goal is to educate and inspire young people with the "C.P.A. Approach".
 

     1. Capturing Hearts and Minds through the inspiration received from and knowledge contained in Return To Glory resources.  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.
     2. Proving the Point with actual documents and artifacts.  We are currently in the process of implementing Phase One, utilizing the African American History Collection on this web page. The following, more comprehensive Phases will be implemented once 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 Verification of the history will be established through collections and exhibitions of genuine historical documents and artifacts from the respective nation in which RTG has a presence.
     3. Affecting Change and Future Life Goals is realized through partnerships with national and community-based service organizations with missions to impact behavior and alter life outcomes. The return To Glory 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? email (cell: 410-991-9718)

An original woodblock ink print on heavy stock by Earl M. Washington. E.M Washington is an artist who has recently come under great controversy after having tried to pass his woodblock prints off as the art find of the century, claiming that these woodblocks had been in storage for years and were in fact cut by his great-grandfather who was to have lived in the 20's-30's. These is fact were high quality woodblocks newly created and signed by Earl M. Washington himself and fooled many experts and were in fact eagerly greeted and accepted as a much need history of African American Artistry from that period. In fact the controversy lent to these works a historical value of their own and these very prints are found on various websites for $50-200 in limited qualities, as they are no longer reproduced. This print is titled "Lynching" and dated 1944 and has initials on the left, title in the center and year of original print on the right.
