Organizer of Passing the torch event
Gateway Educational Foundation & Institute works to preserve the rich history of the civil rights movement and honor the unsung heroes. We provide educational dialogues such as documentaries, films, passing the torch youth summits and assemblies, Kingian non-violence training workshops for adults and teens, effective black parenting classes to celebrate black heritage, and equip African American parents with culturally relevant parenting skills. We preserve 400 years of invaluable rich black history of African Americans, by acknowledging 225 years of the enslavement of African descendants, followed by the Jim Crow "error," and their journey in the new Americas, particularly the civil rights movement and political strategies of nonviolent direct action techniques. In this way we may inspire and equip the next generation of torchbearers on how to effectively change the world through civic engagement, activism, and shared education.
