On behalf of
the Paul Bogle Foundation and Edofolks.com, I would like to remind you that the
2nd annual "African Slavery and Holocaust Memorial" will be taking place on
Sunday, October 18, 2009 at 6:00 PM in all 50 State Capitol Buildings in the
United States and some nations capital around the world. It was established to
commemorate the Millions of Africans that perished and still suffer as result of
the African Slave Trade, African Colonization, and African Slavery.
The purpose of
this memorial is to challenge the conscience of all governments and peoples
towards the legalized and social discriminations against Black peoples, as well
as other forms of violence and injustices. The plan is to light at least 1000
candles at every location at exactly 6:00 PM local time across the world. This
memorial was established in the United States in 2008 at the Dag Hammarskjöld
Plaza (United Nation) in New York, the Capitol Reflecting Pool in Washington DC,
and the State Capitol Building in Atlanta. It was also covered by CBS and
Washington Times (see Youtube.com).
We also have
to celebrate the journey of the slaves, who have gone from the slave ships to
the White House, and also remind authorities that what happen to Professor Henry
Gates of Harvard University should not be tolerated again in the United States
or anywhere else.
All Americans
like yourselves, who want to be involved in this memorial, can simply e-mail us
or leave a message on our memorial guestbook. Despite the fact that most
Capitol cities in the United States have received our event permit application,
we still need representatives on the ground in each state to head the event
and to reserve a street by the Capitol Building from 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM on that
day. It did not cost us a penny to do it last year in 3 different cities,
as long as you have a non-profit organization and ask the fire and police
departments to be a part of the event.
We have just
two months to the event, so let us start taking up our responsibilities as
Americans to heal our nation from within. If we can get together every
October beside every State Capitol Building, along with our President,
Governors, Judges, and Police, to light at least 1000 candles against all forms
of prejudices and violence, it will send the greatest message across the land
that a great change is necessary for America to truly fulfill its destiny as the
greatest nation on earth.
