In recognition of the tremendous progress of People of African Descent, particularly over the last decade, in which we have seen an unprecedented global rise in Black education, land ownership, entrepreneurship and wealth creation; and successful, intentional efforts at reconnection with African heritages–culminating in Ghana’s Year of Return activities, in which over 1 million PoAD returned to the African continent, we hereby declare that 2020 to 2029 will be the Decade of Black Glory.
We foresee an unprecedented increase in Black unity and cooperation across the Atlantic. We declare that we will see more Black people from North, Central and South America moving to Africa than ever before. We will see staggering levels of wealth generation across Black groups globally. We will see the plummeting of violence in Black communities in the US, in Africa and across the Globe as historically disenfranchising laws and policies are rewritten.
We will see the rise of a generation of African and Diaspora youth with enormous pride in their heritages, their cultures, their histories, their futures. This Decade will not be without its challenges, but as we overcome considerable hurdles with strategic, swift, unifying action and spiritual cooperation, our solidarity will deepen, our power will multiply and our suffering will diminish. This is the NOIR Labs declaration.
When we have unity, we have everything.
