Make a Donation
Why should
you give $25 dollars to the African Indians of the Five Civilized Tribes?
If you have experienced racial
discrimination you already know why. If you have relatives or close friends who have lost their jobs or were refused housing
based on their race you will appreciate our request for money.
If you have been fortunate so far, let me explain
our need for your $25 dollar donation.
Over 100,000 Freedmen Descendants have been denied their citizenship
in the Five Civilized Tribes. The basic human rights that we take for granted as citizens in the United States. The tribes
have for years denied Freedmen their legal rights. They take US tax dollars to pay for their needs and used their casino profits
to pay for their wants, including spending millions of dollars to keep their slave descendants from receiving what was promised
to their ancestors, tribal citizenship.
Many of the Freedmen descendants are elderly black people, who still remember
and practice the old tribal ways passed down from their mothers.
They lived next door to Indian people who receive basic
medical help, education and housing from the tribes. The same basic rights that are denied them.
Most of the Freedmen
elderly are very poor and can use these services.
They don't have the casino wealth or public tax dollars to influence
Congress or educate the general public of the 'ethnic cleansing' which they have experienced.
When your contribution is received, it will be used to fight this blatant racial discrimination.
Your donation will
be used to educate our people and fight for our civil rights.
Our goal is to educate the American public of our
hidden history and the shame of the Five Civilized Tribes.
Your contribution is, of course, tax deductible.
Make your contribution to:
