Objective The Freeman
Institute® Foundation wants to help establish
self-sustaining
Freeman
Black
History "Overcomer's" Galleries in communities across America
& selected
cities internationally. Purpose To
educate and inspire young people of all ages.

the Henrietta Marie, the

Black History "Overcomer's" exhibition in Prince George's County, MD
C.P.A. Concept for
every Freeman Black History "Overcomer's" Gallery
Capturing
Hearts & Minds through the
inspiration received from and knowledge contained in
Return To Glory (RTG) 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.Verification of the history will be
established through the exhibition of historical
documents and artifacts from The Freeman Institute Black History
collection and also from local residents, representing the respective community
in which the Black History Gallery project 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. The RTG film will be shown every hour on
the hour in every gallery, in the language specific to that region of the
world -- French, Portuguese, Spanish or English.
Any
ideas?
Interested enough to want to read a
confidential 15-page

-- CPA Concept was developed by Patricia Ware.
Welcome! Let's
get some background for the Freeman Black History Gallery
project.
BACKGROUND The unique
book, Return to Glory: The Powerful Stirring of the
Black Race, has received excellent reviews from
the likes of Bill Cosby and Julius Erving to Ben Carson,
Tony Campolo, Tony Evans, Donald Cole, Joe Frazier and
many others.
Authors Don Griffin (senior Human Resources executive and
counselor) and Joel Freeman (veteran chaplain of the NBA
Washington Wizards/Bullets for 19 years ['79-'98],
corporate trainer and professional speaker) co-wrote the
book and also co-developed the script for the film version.
Return To Glory logo
Created by RTG Pictures, the award-winning film is available
(order
online).
This book and film project is unique in that Don
Griffin is African American and Joel Freeman is Caucasian. The
message of the book and the film has informed and inspired millions of people around the world.
The Freeman Institute® (CEO, Dr. Joel Freeman)
owns a Black History collection of 3,000+
vintage documents and artifacts, with the oldest
piece dated 1553. You can review the
collection
here.
THE BIG PICTURE
The prime objective of the Foundation is to establish
Freeman Black History Galleries, connecting the African
American experience with galleries in major U.S. cities
and in selected cities internationally (parts of Canada,
Europe, Africa and South America and every Caribbean
country).
THRIVING ON THE IMPOSSIBLE
Does the international aspect of the gallery project sound
improbable...even impossible? How will all this happen?
Frankly, we do not know. But we all realize that before
embarking upon any journey one must first start by doing
what's necessary...
Start by doing what's necessary;
then do what's possible;
and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
-- St. Francis of Assisi
We invite you to join us in the adventure. Much of the heavy lifting
has already been accomplished. The Freeman Black History
Gallery business model allows for 10, 100, or even 1,000+
galleries around the world. The sky's the limit!

United Nation

Project
Freeman Institute
Black History Collection documents and artifacts were
showcased at the United Nations Transatlantic Slave
Trade Exhibit (March-May 2011)
If you are interested
in learning more about the
Black History "Overcomer's" Gallery Project, here is a presentation
Dr. Joel Freeman made to a group interested in
establishing an
"Overcomer's" gallery in their community. Before this
video is over, you
will
have captured a glimpse into Joel Freeman's heart and
vision for
helping to establish "Overcomer's" galleries in
communities
across America and also in selected cities
internationally.
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT All it takes is
for one person with an entrepreneurial spirit in each community to
capture the vision and lead the charge. Is that one
person you? Send this website to other key
decision-makers in your community and then contact Dr.
Freeman (410-729-4011) for the next steps. Community-based organizations, churches,
businesses
and colleges may want to be a part of sponsoring Black
History galleries in communities throughout the USA,
the Caribbean
and parts of Canada.
After you have finished reviewing the material on this web
page, come back to read more about Joel Freeman's
bio and
personal
story.
(Email
for more information...requesting a confidential 15-page overview of
Freeman Black History Gallery concept.)
TOWN WELL CONCEPT Hopefully each gallery will
become a local "town well," where young people are
mentored, families break the curse of debt,
entrepreneurial dreams are fostered and lives are changed.
It's all about purpose. We hope that each gallery will
have a side room with computers, so that students can come
right after school to study in an educational atmosphere.
We also hope to establish an entrepreneur club in each
gallery for all
interested in taking an idea to the marketplace --
artists, musicians, authors, business concepts, etc..
Successful business people in the community will have
the opportunity to become business mentors. Dr.
Freeman's entrepreneur book/workbook combination (with
Leader's Guide) can be used as course material -- "If
Nobody Loves You Create the Demand!"
PROTOCOL
We envision that any gallery you may visit throughout the
world will have it's own local flavor, but will adhere to
a common code of conduct. Our desire is for each gallery
to function kind of like a franchise. Professional.
Friendly. Excellent customer service. Strictly
non-partisan. Accepting and respecting all who visit
(Liberal, Conservative, Independent)...regardless of their
political or religious leanings. The galleries will
collectively create and then live by a code of conduct
accepted and appreciated by all. All legal, insurance,
security, staffing and climate-control issues will be
standard.
JUNIOR CURATOR MENTORING PROGRAM The objective is
for each gallery to hire young people (14-16 years) who
will earn the right to become the narrators or guides for
visitors. Each "Return To Glory" teenager will be brought through a
comprehensive mentoring process.
It will be inspirational to see a young person talking as
an expert on Phillis Wheatley, Frederick Douglass,
Sojourner Truth, Solomon Northrop and
other known and not-so-known historical figures. It would be such a joy to follow
every "Return
To Glory" kid through college (with scholarship help)
and after graduation to help open doors in
his/her selected vocation. The goal is for this to be part of the
generational legacy of each gallery.
YOU BE THE JUDGE
The Freeman Institute® recently acquired a 19th
Century painting of a woman who bears a remarkable
resemblance to Harriet Tubman. After completing this
page, feel free to come back up and click on the image
(>) to do your own comparison. Each Gallery will have
a giclee' reproduction of this painting to engage
visitors on another level. The store in each gallery
will have giclee' reproductions for
sale in three sizes.
YOU BE THE
JUDGE!
-------------------------------- Is this a long lost painting
of Harriet Tubman?
LOCAL
HISTORY We envision that once a local gallery is
established, people in each community will come forward
with documents and artifacts that they will loan or donate
to the gallery, desiring to re-animate the legacy of a
relative (grandparent, aunt, uncle, parent). There are
many stories that the current generation needs to know and
understand. We predict that -- once the news gets out --
the local community's outpouring of support with
historical items and stories to be told will be
unprecedented.
There is nothing wrong with going back to
fetch what one has forgotten.
-- Ashanti saying se wo were fi na wosan kofa a yennki
ANCIENT TOUCHSTONE Dr. Freeman, the president of The
Freeman Institute®
Foundation, has created (with a lot of help) a digital model and mold and the
fabrication of museum-quality replicas. He was
looking for something that could be utilized as an
exhibit, stepping back ion time to ancient African
kingdoms as a context of inventiveness and creativity before
reviewing the past 4 centuries of American history.
Rosetta Stone Replica
Why
the Rosetta Stone? A full life-size, 3-D replica
of the Rosetta Stone (45" tall x 30" wide x 11" thick) in
each gallery provides a literal touchstone to ancient
times, reminding the viewer that Egypt is located in
Africa, not the Middle East. It also provides a solid
ancient historical context, helping us to better
understand the roots of African American history.
We will not reinforce the misguided
notion that Black History started with the Slave Trade
and the peculiar institution of slavery.
Black
History has its ancient roots firmly planted in
creativity, inventiveness, ingenuity, royalty,
perseverance and so much more, with many African
Kingdoms (Ghanian, Songehay,
Great Zimbabwe, Malian, etc.)
--
providing a context for the documents and
artifacts that exhibit the important and often
overlooked role African Americans
played in the past four centuries of American
history.
WHITE ABOLITIONISTS One of the plans also is for each Freeman Black History Gallery
to have a wall
honoring some of the White abolitionists who
sacrificed much for the anti-slavery cause -- with some
making the ultimate sacrifice. Each visitor will be
provided the opportunity to complete their tour of the local gallery with a "pep in his/her step"
regardless of ethnicity, gender or religion. It's all
bound up in the value of mutual respect.
Seek to understand before seeking to be
understood.
-- St. Augustine
Here is an overview of the past and present progress,
with an eye cast to the future:
PHASE ONE:
Development of the 501(c)3 non-profit organization, The
Freeman Institute® Foundation (web)
--
DONE!
PHASE TWO:
Development of The Freeman Institute® Black History
Collection (3,000+ documents and artifacts. Oldest piece
dated 1553) (web)
--
DONE...and expanding!
PHASE THREE:
Development of the Rosetta Stone replica project (web)
--
DONE!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
PHASE FOUR:
Here's where the fun begins!
Site selection of first gallery. We envision that
churches, charter schools, home school groups, private
schools, or faith-based organizations may be the best
hosts for such galleries, providing a unique outreach to
their respective communities. We are also open to other
community-based organizations --
Will your
community be the first?
EMAIL
* NOTE: This first gallery is very important, because it will become the
"gold standard," against which all future galleries will
be measured. Even though each gallery leadership group will develop their
own way in each community -- all future gallery
directors will have to spend time at this first gallery...learning
from their successes and mistakes. Over the first 8-9
months we will work the bugs out before moving to the
next phase.
PHASE FIVE:
The establishment of 3-4 more galleries...watching
closely for any systemic challenges, failures or issues
that need to be addressed.
PHASE SIX:
Watching carefully, we will then permit an expansion to
various parts of the United States, Canada and the
Caribbean. Each new country will start back at Phase
Four, with the establishment of one gallery to make sure
that the gallery project is culturally sound for that
new part of the world.
PHASE SEVEN:
We have some unique plans to connect each gallery
through technology (video games, Internet) and a
daisy-chain of new documents and artifacts bringing
fresh excitement twice a year throughout the entire
group of galleries around the world. Can you imagine a
kid in Ghana playing a historically-vibrant video game
against kids in London, Toronto, Atlanta and Freeport?
PHASE EIGHT:
We have other BIG dreams, but will not communicate them
here. Enough for now...
What will it take for a local organization to start a
Black History gallery? We have a much more comprehensive
overview in the confidential document, available to those
interested in establishing a Freeman Black History
Gallery in their community.

The Freeman Institute Black History Collection
For starters, find corporations or local
foundations to grant funds for the framing of
documents, touch-screen TVs, remodeling costs, etc. And also locate
a building with at least 2,000 - 3,000 square feet to get a gallery going
in your community. We have developed an AutoCAD design
(below) demonstrating how the square footage can be
filled.
One of the more generous corporations funding the local effort can
become the title sponsor of the gallery in their
community.
ECONOMIC VIABILITY The economic viability of
the gallery concept has already been completed. This
includes, corporate donations, membership drive,
minimal ticket pricing, store in each gallery selling
reproductions, books, art and DVDs...and more. Each
gallery will be built upon a local entrepreneurial
spirit.

TRUTHCENTRIC Both Afrocentrism and
Eurocentrism have good points to them. But after
careful research over the years, the growing realization that
has emerged is that both disciplines also
have some pretty crazy/fringe stuff that's isn't
corroborated by original sources. We'd rather use the term: "Truthcentric"
-- hopefully providing more light than heat.

RTG DVD PROJECT Another
Foundation objective is to
donate a special "not-for-resale" edition of the DVD version
of the film (with over 2 hours of uncut interviews, music
videos from DC Talk, Lil' iROCC, NAS, short films, Photo
Galleries and more) to every juvenile detention center, prison
and school (Middle, Junior High, Senior High, College,
University) in America.
Each gallery leadership team will be given the opportunity to participate in
this project as they seek to increase their local impact.
The RTG film has been translated into French, Portuguese and
Spanish, along with English subtitles
for the hearing impaired. This ambitious project
includes plans to raise the funds to distribute the
French, Portuguese and Spanish versions (special DVD
edition) of the film throughout the continent of Africa,
parts of Europe, parts of South America and the
Caribbean. This is an ongoing, ever-expanding project.

the over-arching theme of each
Freeman Black History Gallery
African American History and the Entrepreneurial Spirit
There are many
historical reasons why people have been and continue to be challenged by the
hardships
that
accompany racism, prejudice and bigotry. Those hardships can be
likened to the claustrophobic
layers
of
concrete that gradually seek to nullify all viable
options available to an individual under such weight.
But as Russian historian and
novelist, Alexander Solzhenitsyn once remarked, "If the
whole
world
were covered in concrete,
a single blade of grass would sooner or
later break through."
A truth-centric view of history will graphically describe
the concrete as a metaphor for the Slave Trade,
slavery, fugitive slave laws, reconstruction, lynching, Jim Crow and
the struggle for civil rights.
However, there are a number of examples of people who, like
blades of grass, have broken through and defied the
power of the concrete. These are the stories we will tell.
The thicker the concrete, the more inspirational the story.
Blades of grass cracking the mighty concrete from beneath.
Can't keep the entrepreneurial spirit down.
So many
entrepreneurial stories to tell. Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass.
Sojourner Truth. Solomon Northrop. Annie Malone. Madam CJ Walker. And
more...
~
THE THICKER THE CONCRETE THE
MORE INSPIRATIONAL THE STORY ~
The Freeman
Institute Black History Collection and Freeman Galleries
will be dedicated to sharing some of the most powerful
wisdom lessons gleaned from the many "blades of grass" who
have patiently worked their way through the concrete.
"The battles
that count aren't the ones for gold medals. The struggles
within yourself --
the invisible, inevitable battles inside all of us--that's where it's at."
- Jesse Owens

The Black History Gallery Project is
designed to help fulfill
Mary McLeod Bethune's Legacy as outlined in her Last Will & Testament
Mary McLeod Bethune (1875 -
1955)
Sometimes as I sit communing in my study I feel that death is
not far off. I am aware that it will overtake me before the
greatest of my dreams – full equality for the Negro in our time
– is realized. Yet, I face that reality without fear or regrets.
I am resigned to death as all humans must be at the proper time.
Death neither alarms nor frightens one who has had a long career
of fruitful toil. The knowledge that my work has been helpful to
many fills me with joy and great satisfaction.
Since my retirement from an active role in educational work and
from the affairs of the National Council of Negro Women, I have
been living quietly and working at my desk at my home here in
Florida.
The years
have directed a change of pace for me. I am now 78 years old and
my activities are no longer so strenuous as they once were. I
feel that I must conserve my strength to finish the work at
hand.
Already I
have begun working on my autobiography which will record my
life-journey in detail, together with the innumerable side trips
which have carried me abroad, into every corner of our country,
into homes both lowly and luxurious, and even into the White
House to confer with Presidents.
I have also
deeded my home and its contents to the Mary McLeod Bethune
Foundation, organized in March, 1953, for research, interracial
activity and the sponsorship of wider educational opportunities.
Sometimes I ask
myself if I have any other legacy to leave. Truly, my worldly
possessions are few. Yet, my experiences have been rich. From them,
I have distilled principles and policies in which I believe firmly,
for they represent the meaning of my life's work. They are the
products of much sweat and sorrow. Perhaps in them there is
something of value. So, as my life draws to a close, I will pass
them on to Negroes everywhere in the hope that an old woman's
philosophy may give them inspiration. Here, then is my legacy...MORE

The Rosetta Stone:
Replicating a Mystery(short film)
Important speech presented by George
Fraser at the famous City Club (Cleveland)
George is an Advisory Board Member of the
Black History Gallery Project
George C. Fraser is Chairman and CEO of FraserNet, Inc. A
company he founded some 20 years ago with the vision to lead a
global networking movement that brings together diverse human
resources to increase opportunities for people of African
descent. He is considered by many to be a new voice for
African Americans and one of the foremost authorities on
economic development, networking and building effective
relationships.
Mr. Fraser has authored three critically acclaimed books:
Success Runs In Our Race; The Complete Guide to Effective
Networking in the African American Community and Race For
Success; The Ten Best Business Opportunities for Blacks In
America and the most recent, Click: Ten Truths to Building
Extraordinary Relationships.
UPSCALE magazine name him one of the “Top 50 power brokers in
Black America”. Black Enterprise Magazine called him “Black
America’s #1 Networker” and featured him on a cover issue.
Personal growth “guru” Stephen Covey called Mr. Fraser a
“masterful teacher”.
The top-of-mind question with most is "What would ever motivate a White man to be interested in
Black History?"
Click here to review Dr.
Joel Freeman's written response to that question.
Dr. Joel A. Freeman is
the keynote speaker at many Black History presentations and
cross-cultural competence training events around the world. At this Black History Month event
in the Washington, DC region, many participants
stayed afterwards to review documents and artifacts from The Freeman Institute Black History
collection. Black history was the gateway through which Dr.
Freeman developed a passion for cross cultural
communication.
