Freedom 2013
The Mission
To assemble together 10,000 to 14,000 people representing the diversity of America's culture and the richness of the global Black community under one roof in New York. The gathering purposes to commemorate the 150 years since the EMANCIPATIONPROCLAMATION, and will serve to deliver strong and positive actions around some of the local (New York tri‐state area), national and global crises that our communities face. This initiative will serve to motivate, educate and help to arm the nation and our world with specific information, resource and tools to address and solve some of these most pressing challenges such as business and economic parity, the foreclosure and underwater housing crisis, African and Caribbean investments, missions and diasporal collaboration, health and wellness, education and politics, and global economic policies and their impact upon disadvantaged countries and communities.
At the core is the need for a new kind of spiritual awakening that will usher a new spirit of revival, the spiritual to the socio‐economic FREEDOM for Blacks in America and around the world.
