The Healing Of Africa
At Long Last…
Two hundred years after the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade, an unprecedented monument project is finally being launched.
It is official…
This is a call to all conscious sisters and brothers of the Diaspora. 2008 will be the two hundred year anniversary of the ending of the transatlantic slave trade in the USA and still we do not have a monument to honor the millions of Africans that suffered and died and to help heal the pain we still endure.
Heed The Call…
The Diaspora has heard the call and we are coming together in unity to memorialize our past and to ensure the world will never forget that from the ashes of slavery, we have risen and will continue to rise.
Secure Your Place In History
The Healing Of Africa Monument is currently being designed. It will be sculpted out of clay and then cast into bronze. Unlike any public monument in history, we the people of the Diaspora will claim complete ownership of our monument through a unique and ingenious concept.
Every conscious sister and brother throughout the Diaspora can have their personal stamp and tribute of acknowledgement on the monument by having their very own piece of clay placed onto the monument as it is being created. When The Healing Of Africa Monument is completed and unveiled, all who participated will forever be a part of this historic tribute.
This is your opportunity to receive your piece of clay by mail and complete a very simple but significant ceremony.
- When you receive your clay, you should transfer your energy into it by holding and squeezing it in anyway you choose.
- As you make this personal and spiritual connection, you are invited to take a moment to remember our ancestors and to acknowledge that it is on their shoulders that we stand.
- For those of you who wish to bless your clay with a prayer, you are welcome to do so.
- You should take the clay and touch the ground where you stand to show the depth to which our people were taken and to acknowledge our global presence.
- As you stand up you will symbolize our survival and rise to greatness.
You must then return your piece of clay so it can be filmed as it is placed onto the monument. Write your personalized Sentence Of Empowerment that should express your positive message to the world. It will to be read by one of a host of Hollywood celebrities and also filmed for online viewing at anytime by you and friends for generations to come. You may include your picture that will appear on screen as the celebrity reads your message.
The Healing Of Africa Project
(Lest We Forget)
Economic Empowerment for Africa
The Healing Of Africa Project will include the creation and installation of a monumental sculpture in Africa. The eventual size will be determined by the amount of sisters and brothers that participate and thereby claim ownership of the monument.
The project has also been designed to honor our ancestors and to economically empower and support humanitarian projects throughout Africa. This will be done by way of building schools, housing and hospitals, providing land irrigation for clean water, bridging the digital divide with new computers and awarding student scholarships for education, to name a few.
The Green Light From Gambia
Phase One - (Received)
In light of the global significance of this project, The Gambian Government has designated over a mile of untouched coastline and land, entirely for the location and sanctity of The Healing Of Africa Monument. The eventual site will host a myriad of venues to further enhance the spiritual pilgrimage that will be made by visitors to this Holy Ground.
The Blessing of the Project
Phase Two - (Completed)
The founder of this project, internationally renowned sculptor, Donald Brown, has been a guest of The President of The Gambia; His Excellency Ya Ya A. J. J. Jameh, on several occasions, regarding The Healing Of Africa Project. Meetings were also arranged with village Elders and the descendents of Kunte Kinte. They were informed of the proposed project. After listening to Donald, through an interpreter, all of the Elders were gracious in their approval. They extended numerous blessings and prayed for the projects success.
The Initiation Ceremony
Phase Three - (Completed)
Mr. Brown and his accompanying delegation traveled to James Island, in The Gambia, for The Healing Of Africa Initiation Ceremony. It was on James Island that many of the enslaved Africans were held before being shipped off to foreign lands. After his presentation to over one hundred visitors, Donald broke off a small piece of clay and gave a piece to each person.
One by one they took their clay and bent down to the ground, to symbolize the depth to which our ancestors were taken and mingled the clay with the dirt on which the slaves walked. They then stood up in acknowledgement of our rise to great heights and placed their pieces of clay together as one, on a brick wall to show our strength and unity. Donald then blessed the clay with a prayer.

The Presidents Blessing
Phase Four - (Completed)
The Initiation Ceremony was continued on the mainland in Kanoli. A sample of the dirt was taken to a special banquet hosted by the President of The Gambia, His Excellency, Ya Ya A. J. J. Jameh. After a presentation to the hundreds that were in attendance, Donald presented the President with his piece of clay. The President then dipped his piece of clay into the dirt that was taken from James Island and then placed it on top of the clay that was assembled by the hundred or more guests at James Island.
This collective lump of clay will be the very first piece of clay that will be used to begin the creation of The Healing Of Africa Monument.
The Millennium Monument Prepares the Way
Phase Five - (Completed)
The Healing Of Africa Monument is still under design but by way of a forerunner, Donald Brown has created a breathtaking work of art called The Millennium Monument. It is this sculpture that will be the driving force behind The Healing Of Africa Monument. It has been designed to inspire all people and will help to finance the design, creation and installation of The Healing Of Africa Monument.

The Millennium Monument Prints
Phase Six - (Completed)
The Millennium Monument has been exquisitely photographed and released in three full-color prints. Such is the quality of this twentieth century masterpiece, that Donald's audiences have acquired them by the thousands. The three prints show The Millennium Monument from three different angles.
Funding For The Healing Of Africa Monument Prototype
Phase Seven - (Funding secured)
The World Arts Alliance, founded by Donald Brown, will provide the necessary funds to create and complete the approximate three-foot version of the Healing Of Africa Monument. Upon completion of the piece, it will be scaled up to a monumental size. As a potential Patron, you have the power to determine the eventual size and height of The Healing Of Africa Monument.
The Patrons Package
Although we can never put a price on securing our history and elevating Africa, the Patron's Package has been priced to include the following:
- All three Millennium Monument Prints showing the three different angles of the monument, shipped to you immediately
- Listing in The Healing Of Africa Journal that will contain the names of all the Patrons. A copy of this journal will be buried underneath The Healing Of Africa Monument. Other copies will be available for public viewing
- A small piece of clay to touch, squeeze and return so it can be placed on The Healing Of Africa Monument. This will be filmed and made available online so Patrons can see exactly where on the monument their clay was placed
- The opportunity to write a sentence of empowerment to the world for a Hollywood celebrity to read. This will also be filmed and made available online for Patrons and future generations to view at any time. (Patrons may include a personal photo to be featured on screen as their sentence is read)
- A certificate that will authenticate them as an official Founding Patron of The Healing Of Africa Project
- Acknowledgment to all Patrons will be made in major publications
Affordability Is Key
Please note that to secure a brick in a memorial wall or on a walkway, individuals and families pay between $1,000 and $10,000 or more. The Healing Of Africa Project is unlike anything our people and the world may ever encounter again and its significance is unparalleled. However, to ensure that all who wish to participate will have a very realistic opportunity to do so, the entire Patron's Package has been priced at just $125.
Your money is NOT required at this time. FIRST WE MUST SPREAD THE WORD TO ALL OF OUR CONSCIOUS SISTERS AND BROTHERS IN YOUR CIRCLE OF INFLUENCE…
When we hit our launch target of 10,000 registered Patrons you will be informed. At that time you may then secure your Place In History by ordering your three Millennium Monument prints and in due course receive the aforementioned Patron's Package.
The Voice Of The Diaspora
Know that when we come together we can achieve great things. The logic is simple. The Healing Of Africa Monument and the humanitarian support for the Motherland will be greater with the more Patrons that participate and in this way we truly contribute to The Healing Of Africa and ourselves.
