AMERICAN
SLAVES, INC.
Identification of an American People
The major obstruction in the advancement of the “African American” culture is
that the people of our present-day culture are separated from our true
identity. First, few of us understand the origin of our existence. Second, we
do not have an accurate perception of how slaves helped mold and shape the
America that exists today. Descendants of slaves must stop responding to the
emotional stereotypes that too many among us use when identifying ourselves
and learn to accept and activate the power of who we truly are, namely:
Descendants of American Slaves.
Who Benefits
Who Can Be Involved
Programmatic initiatives are designed to assist any man,
woman or child whose ancestors were brought from abroad and bred in
America in order to produce humans for slavery. Emphasis is placed on
programs for slave descendants and their communities who are victimized by
societal injustices due to poverty, poor education, crime, social
dependency and limited external resources. American Slaves, Inc. also
benefits our entire nation by promoting true awareness about the
socioeconomic plight of the descendants of American slaves.
American Slaves, Inc. seeks men, women and children who are
willing to take a proactive stance toward implementing its mission and
core objectives. The organization challenges those descendants who are
teachers, preachers, business professionals and community leaders to
volunteer their time, efforts and creative leadership toward solving a
full range of problems affecting descendants of American slaves and our
communities.
How to Become Empowered
How to Get Started
Descendants of slaves and whites working together could
utilize resources that are wasted annually by the public and private
sectors. A concerted effort by all citizens is needed to shepherd the
descendants of slaves into the American mainstream.
Individuals needing more information as well as those interested in
becoming volunteers in this humanitarian effort can contactthe organization at:
This is a just, long overdue
movement and is open to any and all — regardless of race,
creed or color — who are supportive of banding together to bring focus,
cohesiveness and justice to the descendants of American slaves. The
group’s goal is to plant pride in the descendants of American slaves and
demonstrate how we, as a people, can speak as one. To move forward, we and
our leaders must come together for the common good.
“"African
American”
leaders are self-appointed! It’s high time that descendants of slaves have
a say in who speaks for and represents our culture, by using the
democratic process!
MISSION AND CORE OBJECTIVES
The
goal
of American Slaves, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Kentucky organization,
incorporated July 3, 2001, is to link descendants of American slaves to true
social and economic independence.
Our mission
is to educate, empower and enlighten America on the plight and promise of
the descendants of American slaves while creating strategies that identify
true emancipation from government dependency. This
can be achieved by:
Serving
as a key organization in supporting American Slave History as a core
curriculum in K-12 public and private school education.
Leading
on local and national levels in motivational and strategic development for
communities to empower citizens and leadership to challenge established
systems and programs with accountability to serve the descendants of
American slaves.
Establishing
a global economic system of finance and business development that
transitions slave descendant-owned businesses from start-up into
mainstream.
Serving
as a national facilitator of black actors, directors, producers and
entertainers to portray descendants of American slaves in a positive and
encouraging light.
Promoting
legislative consciousness among federal and national leaders to recognize
the history and contributions of American slaves.
Providing
resources and funding to youth and adults that encourage the core
competencies of the American spirit, family unity, community engagement,
and economic development.
Our mission and core objectives are designed to accurately
identify, legalize, and recognize the descendants of American slaves and
to effectively integrate this group of individuals into mainstream
America.
