  1. Go to: http://www.newagecorporations.com and http://www.acdnac.org and read Chapter 3 in Agenda 21. All the research being done on trends in the 21st century and beyond reveal Black people are going to be impacted in ways many cannot even imagine. To avoid this paadigm shift that our children will have to face, Black people must begin the process that will lead to genuine economic empowerment. Oh..and by the way..there will not be any Reparations for Slavery anytime soon.

    Thank you.
