This docu-drama is dedicated to my lineage Descendants of American Slaves/Freedmen. This film is based on Emmanuel Barbee life experience growing up in the Black Ghettos of Chicago and his life work of trying to build the best African American business within the United States of America with the help of his members from the Grass Roots Community Activist Movement together Black Americans and African Immigrants will build the Grass Roots Community Activist Institute of Chicago.  

GRCAI of Chicago Mission: To eradicate Urban Violence in Chicago through Arts, Culture, Commerce, Spiritual Development and hosting African tours in 10 African nations. We will bring the best of the Diaspora to each African nation so that we can set up local chapters and do international trade among our people and GRCAM members. We will reconnect Black Entrepreneurs with African Entrepreneurs, Black Artists with African Artists. In This Christian business our objective is for Black Americans who are GRCAM members for them to heal from this Slave mentality also known as Willie Lynch and for African Immigrants to heal from this Colonized Mindset. 

What inspired this project?

The inspiration for this docu-drama was that Emmanuel Barbee's revised book (The Solution For Black America: Reclaiming, Rebuilding And Restoring The Urban Ghettos In America) second edition was barely selling and items from his virtual store were also barely selling. This is why he turned to crowdfunding on GoFundMe to let our donors know where exactly the money will be going towards marketing, promotion, clearances, legal and general expenses.  After 15 years of being rejected and overlooked by Black Chicagoans, including the Black Church, Emmanuel decided to write and publish his story. He wrote his book and created his virtual store in order to generate capital to get his nonprofit up and running in Chicago. Our objective is to strengthen the Black family while improving the conditions in the low income African American community or Black community. As well as to become an economic base for the African American community and unite the African Immigrant community. 

GRCAI of Chicago will be committed to assisting with improving the African American community while having a connection to our chapters in Africa. We will offer Parenting Classes, Information Technology, Blockchain Technology, Coding, Electricians, Landscaping, Creating Black Empowerment Films, Oil Painting and Journalism. We also plan on offering an Associate Degree and Vocational Training. GRCAI of Chicago will help prioritize our goals such as securing our neighborhood and protecting our women and children. We will offer a Second Chance program to reach our street brothers and sisters such as ex-offenders of non-violent crimes, former gang members and homeless Individuals within the community we will serve. GRCAI of Chicago will be a multi-purpose facility, functioning as a Nonprofit. We will also have a For Profit business sector. GRCAI of Chicago will operate under 9 separate functions.

1. Social Service component2. Spiritual component (optional for secular people)3. Political component4. Entertainment component5. Entrepreneur component6. Health and Wellness component7. Black Media component 8. Science and Technology component9. Travel and Tourism

Under our For Profit Business Sector:We will practice group economics in real time by pooling our resources together in order to own and control our own Community Healthcare Clinic, Community Grocery Store and Community Housing. This will be group economics in action. GRCAI of Chicago will also benefit Africa because we will form an alliance with African Immigrants in the United States of America and replicate the business in each African nation we visit.  Our programs are designed to:Promote African culture and Black American culture, recreational and other activities for the benefit of local residents who reside on the Westside of Chicago and eventually on the Southside of Chicago. Strengthen the Black Family and African Family through cultural, educational, and community infrastructure at the local level.Promote Music, drama, fine arts, entertainment, sports, recreation and other activities.Develop and promote annual festivals as community events for the benefit of all local residents where we present our events.Pursue public and private grants, donations and contributions, to be recognized by state and local taxing authorities as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.

We have made significant progress in spreading my vision and plan through our Black Media component (Help Stop The Genocide In American Ghettos Podcast). We need your support to take this project to the next level. GRCAI of Chicago will raise the bar in Black America. We will separate ourselves from Con Artists, Black Boule, Degenerates, Democrat Shills, Harden Criminals, Petophiles, Off Code Negroes and Urban Terrorists.
