"A community without culture, tradition, tribe and language is like a beautiful mansion built on quicksand without foundation"

                                                                                                                                                     - Dayo Stevens

African American community still remains the only known community in the United States that 

have no strong ties to their original place of origin, neither do they have access to their original tradition, tribe and culture. They can not even speak a single original language of their ancestors after more than 153 years of freedom from slavery! This is not only unfair to our children, it has become an act of injustice in the sense that we have the means and resources to make this happen but we chose not to, either by design or omission. We are determined to make this right for our children.

The overall goal of our BIRTHRIGHT REDEMPTION Program is to address the above issue by: 

1. Regenerating the original Languages of African American Ancestors.
2. Develop these languages into a family friendly learning format.
3. Make them widely available and accessible to everyone with a focus on African Americans.

It is our children's right to speak the languages of their ancestors, it is our duty to make that happen.
