We are organizing the second 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 by lighting 1000 candles each on Washington Street by the Capitol Building in Atlanta, the Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza at the United Nations in New York, and in front of the United States Capitol Building in Washington D.C. on Sunday, October 18, 2009 at 6:00 PM. (CBS covered the memorial in Atlanta, while Washington Times covered the one in Washington D.C. in 2008). 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 local 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. 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. Thanks in advance for your support and e-mail us at info@edofolks.com to tell us what state you would like to be in charge of. |
