ABOUT US
OUR MISSION
To stop and counter the continued legacy of defamation, erasure, persecution, and misrepresentation of the Negro in all areas of people activity. ANDL seeks to address the ever-pervasive practice of cultural benign neglect that seeks to extinguish the Negro’s heritage and lineage. Negroes have historically been classified as such and deserves distinction due to its federal and state designation.
In 2004, during a discussion with George Stephanopoulos, Alan Keyes emphasized the importance and necessity to recognize people’s individual heritages. In 2016 however, Obama ultimately and without specific logical explanation removed the word Negro from federal law thus removing the ancestral birthright of the Negro--we can no longer be made to be ashamed of who we are.
It is our vision at ANDL to resurrect and restore the lived experiences, no matter how painful, and historical references especially the very term “Negro.” It is imperative that the term Negro be appropriately identified and accepted in all forms of media, federal laws and legislation that has specified the Negroes and their descendants. Through future policies, programs, education, research, and legislation ANDL will strive to secure the full potential of the Negro into perpetuity.
OUR HISTORY
ANDL is the culmination of the inevitable evolution and struggle of a people longing to have the ability to feel safe, protected and allowed to simply exist. Each of our current board member’s paths crossed originally in July 2022 after being dissolution and frustrated at the lack of progress around the reparations movement and the many notable online personalities, hashtag groups and organizations on various social media platforms that engaged in endless debates and social media spaces around Black identity, lineage and delineation. What is delineation and what does race/ethnicity have to do with our current condition and standing as a people? These topics of discussion have been going around since 2016 due to the grassroots Reparations Movement that has been taking place on and offline although reparations for the Negro people has been a debate since the conclusion of the Civil War and its subsequent aftermath.
OUR TEAM
Our team consist of ordinary people with extraordinary backgrounds, courage, resolve, and truly care for the well-being of the Negro community. We also value our many supporters and partners that have grown with us since the summer of 2022. It is because of this that we acknowledge that it is the Negro community that will have and play an integral role in our organization's success.
