Forty-three years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, where he had traveled to support AFSCME sanitation workers striking for the right to collective bargaining. The struggle for workers' rights continues today in Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida, New Hampshire, Michigan and other states throughout the country.
We invite you to watch the new video created about this on-going struggle. Legendary soul and R&B singer and musician Aaron Neville recorded the song "America the Beautiful" especially for this commemoration.
“I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war
unless the people themselves refuse to go to war.” -- Albert Einstein
The African Diaspora Foundation simply works for peace.
We strive to achieve it through education.
When bullets are flying, progress packs up and swims across oceans to find safety.
When communities can not resolve their conflicts, collaboration moves out and fear, defensiveness, and selfishness occupy.
For centuries, Africa, has given the rest of the world its children and natural resources, and the world has benefited. Let us give back.
In the same way the classroom was used to teach English, French, and religion, we look to use the classrom to teach principles of peace, reconciliation and conflict resolution.
Please explore our website, join and support us in our collaborative effort to effect change.
