That All Men Are Created Equal
That all men are created equal before the eyes of God and the United States Constitution is of little, if any, importance before the eyes of men who measure equality in terms of political and economic power.
It is through the educational process that this sort of power is either constructed or deconstructed.
The United Black Family Scholarship Foundation
is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the social and economic conditions of underserved communities. The organization was incorporated on May 22, 2014, in the State of Oklahoma.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create a culture of higher learning within these communities. We advance education, not in the strict sense of “credentialism,” rather education as it pertains to empowering men and women to deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world.
We “turn-up” on literacy as it relates to informing people as to the nature of the various institutional and cultural forces which shape their beliefs, behavior, and value systems.
We are getting to the heart of the problems before our communities which are plagued be ignorance on all levels—from the streets to the schoolhouse.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The UBF would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the contributions of all our benefactors. Especially, those of incarcerated author Ivan Kilgore, who has donated the proceeds of his recently published book–Domestic Genocide: The Institutionalization of Society–to the UBF endowment.
His message is clear and authentic having spent the past 19 years incarcerated in a super-maximum security prison. Ivan advocates the fact that every aspect of improving community life depends upon a strong community fabric. This entails for all the pieces of building a prosperous community to be in place: family, investment, committed neighborhoods, public safety, schools, etc.
Notably, the social and economic investment decisions made by previous generations (or the ones we fail to make today) greatly impact the world in which we live. Missing even one piece jeopardizes the entire development process. Consequently, the absence of any one of the foregoing variables leads to a breakdown in our social structure.
None of the foregoing, of course, would be possible without the assistance of the community itself. We are in need of volunteers. For those interested in joining this organization email us at:
