Welcome





This is our new interactive site. I hope it is well-utilized by people who care about black people and want to share success stories, resources and questions. This is also a networking tool for black people in cyber-space who are interested in repair or reparations work linked to the damage suffered during the European slave trade, colonialism, and other forms of spiritual and physical apartheid, both external and internal, conscious and unconscious, with malice or just careless inattention. In order to heal and realize our innate potential, black people have to stop riding and take over the vehicle--this is the only way we'll get where we need to go as a community.

Lest We Forget, the parent organization of Maafa San Francisco Bay Area, is committed to providing a place for this discourse. It is only though collective recall will we stop the cycle...stop participating in a drama where our heroes are killed or compromised, a program where black people never come out on top.

We are the ones we've been waiting for, so let's get busy.
