Washington DC's Flyer
We are organizing the first ever "African Slavery and Holocaust Memorial TM" for the 100-300 million Africans that died during the African Slave trade, African Colonization, and African Slavery. It is not only the worst genocide or human holocaust in recorded human history, or one of the least mentioned in the media, academia, politics, or the United Nations, but it is also one that the world has never had a memorial for. Our plan and goal is to have a memorial for these great African victims of the slave holocaust on Sunday, November 9, 2008 at 6:00 P.M. by the Capitol Reflecting Pool at the nation's capital, Washington DC. We hope to cleanse and purify all of humanity with the power of fire in the darkness. We would like all nations to light their candles in every major city by the main Government Building to show solidarity with God, the African slaves that perished, humanity, and all of our children yet unborn. The expectation is to have at least a total of 100 million candles lit on the same day, but at 6:00 P.M. your country's time across the world. Each candle will be lit by each family or organization member to represent the minimum number of African slaves that died during the world's greatest atrocity - The African Slave Trade. The goal is to have at least one Million candles lit in every country in the world, and at least two million candles lit in the United States. Those countries that are not up to one million in population should please strive to get all citizens to their nation's capital to light a candle. This event will be held in October each year in every major city on earth, especially the nation's capitals, but we were unable to secure an event permit for Washington DC in October. This is why we are having the memorial this year in November 2008. The memorial of Sunday, October 19, 2008 at 6PM was very successful by lighting 1000 candles in glass on Washington Street in Atlanta, Georgia, right by the Georgia Capitol Building - 1 Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive, Atlanta, Georgia, 30334, and also lighting 1000 candles in glass at the Dag Hammarskjold Plaza (United Nations Plaza) East 47th Street, 1st-2nd Avenue, New York, NY. 10017. All Children and believers in God, fairness, justice, and civil rights must see to it that they are involved in accomplishing this goal of reminding humanity that this evil should never happen again to any people by informing their medias, civil rights organizations, places of worship, community events and meetings, and as well as colleges and universities. This memorial must be a success because it is not just a physical event, but a spiritual event that will cleanse and purify the nations from the greatest evil of humanity in God's creation. We are calling on God through fire and Spirit to purify and cleanse the world off its evil in the commemoration of the fallen heroes of Slavery. May God's will be done on earth. |
