We hereby announce, in this moment—considered by so many to be the anniversary of America’s founding moment—the formation of a new congress of Descendants of enslaved ancestors:
THE DESCENDANTS FORUM
In so doing, we
REMEMBER
that enslaved ancestors did not rejoice in 1776, and that they instead survived 1776.
And we
RESOLVE
to continue the work which those ancestors began nonetheless as Americans who believed in, dreamed of, and fought for
LIBERTY & JUSTICE
for all.
