Destined To Be Taller Than The Statue Of Liberty
-The Healing Of Africa Monument Project
The Healing Of Africa Monument Project has been launched, in part, to pay tribute to the millions of Africans who suffered during the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Although other nationalities can boast to have monuments and memorials specific to the acknowledgement of their experiences, no international iconic monument exists that significantly chronicles the contributions made by people of African ancestry. The Healing Of Africa Monument will promote peace, healing and forgiveness, inspire hope for the future, and provide economic empowerment for the Motherland and throughout the world.
Unlike any other commemorative sculptures for people of the African Diaspora, The Healing Of Africa Monument is destined to be taller than The Statue Of Liberty and will probably be the most historic and monumental tribute of our time.
In the early 1990’s, the Berlin Wall was destroyed and it was broken to pieces. The world then descended on Germany to claim a piece of that wall as an historic memento. The Healing Of Africa Monument reverses this concept. It provides a global opportunity for people to receive a small piece of clay in the mail to touch and make a personal connection. It will then be returned and placed onto the monument as it is being created. All who participate in this way will forever be part of the creative process, secure their place in history, and enrich their legacy as official Founding Patrons for The Healing Of Africa Monument. This will enable members of the public to become Founding Patrons and claim their place in history.
The creation of The Healing Of Africa Monument will be filmed from beginning to end and available for viewing on this site. As we receive the pieces of clay from Founding Patrons around the world, our cameras will be set up in our studios to capture the creative progress and show you behind the scenes of the monument as it is created. Every single piece of clay that is received will be placed onto the monument to ensure that every Founding Patron can secure their place in history and claim The Healing Of Africa Monument as part of their legacy. All are welcome, regardless of age, nationality, creed or colour.
