End US Slavery, Change the 13th Amendment
Donation protected
The African Diaspora Directorate Announces the Launch of the Black Folks Plan to end Slavery in the USA as part of our Response to America’s Widespread Racial Injustice. We are gonna change the constitution to say "Slavery is abolished now and forever in the USA."
To: The People of the United States of America and the government of the Republic of the United States of America along with its local governments,
Today’s marches and support of Black Lives Matter around the United States of America are an attempt to find solutions to apparent institutional racism based on our national history of slavery.
The African Diaspora Directorate started this past American Independence Day (July 4th, 2020) on a rewrite of the American Social contract. A contract being rewritten because of the global revulsion of the murder George Floyd and the waking in the United States of America, along with the world, of the shared horror to it on top of our National Health Emergency.
The first thing in this rewrite is a campaign around amending the American Constitution’s 13th Amendment to only say "Slavery is abolished now and forever in the United States of America."
If you thought slavery was abolished in 1865 you were wrong. Amending the 13th amendment is to remove what it currently says, "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
The African Diaspora Directorate, a 501c3 civil society joint venture with Friends of the African Union , knows that without that change, slavery has never been abolished in the USA. We have historical proof of that in our American history with our police forces when they have been used since the passage of the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution on December 5th 1865 to imprison people so as to keep them in their place and use by the state as contracted slave labor.
The southern states became masters of this process when the hereto slaves became not only freedmen and women but American citizens July 28th, 1868 whose men could vote. But then again other states like Ohio had already put this language in their state constitution (1851). That is why this is not only a national campaign but a state campaign starting with Ohio.
Action
The US Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures.
We are raising funds to conduct a national multi-media and door to door campaign to amend the federal and state constitutions to end legal slavery in the USA. It will be conducted state by state so as to get two-thirds of the State legislatures starting in Ohio as well as with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Who is the funds being raised with.
On behalf of the African Diaspora Directorate ("AfDiDi") we are raising these funds, I, Dr. Kofi Agyapong have the honor to present you some background on our organization's fiscal agent first. Brotherhood and Sisterhood International (BSI) Blacks and Whites Uniting Communities a 33 year old American Non-Profit Organization, EIN 52 1569388 with a 501c3 Ruling in 1989, did on Juneteenth (June 19th 2019) join with Friends of the African Union (2012) in the creation of the African Diaspora Directorate as a global civil society organization for people of the African Diaspora.
AfDiDi was created in order to form a more perfect union between the people of the African Union and the United States of America, establish justice and the rule of law equally applied to all people, ensure global tranquility, provide for the common defense of the people of the African Diaspora, promote the general welfare for the people of the African Diaspora, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, did ordain as an American Civil Society Organization ran by citizens of the African Union and those of the African Diaspora living in the United States of America now work to end slavery worldwide starting in the USA with this issue.
Why start with Ohio? Ohio's History with Slavery
Ohioans like many northern states residents say they never were a slave state. This is not true as slavery was allowed and legal in all states but up to that state's constitution.
Ohio has had three Constitutions 2 by Constitutional conventions (1803 and 1851) and one by substantial amendments in 1912. The 1912 Constitution had changes so sweeping to the 1851 Constitution that most legal scholars consider it to have become a new "1912 Constitution." But it still allowed slavery if convicted of a crime. Remember it did not say only black man slavery, but it was used mostly against Black men. That 1851 section is still in the current 2020 Ohio constitution which says in its Bill of Rights, "Slavery and involuntary servitude. §6 There shall be no slavery in this State; nor involuntary servitude, unless for the punishment of crime." Remember this is in 1851 14 years before the change to the US Constitution with the 13th Amendment in 1865 that says about the same thing.
The original 1803 Ohio constitution said, in Article 8 Section 2, "There shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in this State, otherwise than for the punishment of crimes, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted; nor shall any male person, arrived at the age of twenty-one years, or female person arrived at the age of eighteen years, be held to serve any person as a servant, under the pretense of indenture or otherwise, unless such person shall enter into such indenture while in a state of perfect freedom, and on a condition of a bona fide consideration, received or to be received, for their service, except as before excepted. Nor shall any indenture of any negro or mulatto, hereafter made and executed out of the State, or if made in the State, where the term of service exceeds one year, be of the least validity, except those given in the case of apprenticeships."
Through the Black Folks Plan for America, we will build an inclusive community that reflects our collective values and common vision from local to global levels, spanning cultures, nations, and regions in a world with a global community made up of People of African Descent and our allies.
The African Diaspora Directorate has already joined into a coalition of more than 600 community-based organizations across the nation that promote access to banking services, affordable housing, job creation, entrepreneurship, and build vibrant communities for America’s working families. This coalition has created over $150B in bank-based community benefit agreements. In the national emergency just one of these banks has done over 32,000 Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program loans worth over $13B. In addition, they reported a significant loan ratio to businesses in Low Moderate-Income Neighborhoods and in Minority Neighborhoods. Now we build on that, with allies, the Black Folks Plan for America.
