*American Freedmen is the historical and legal term used to refer persons who were formerly enslaved and their descendants. This term encompasses all Black Americans who were freed via the emancipation proclamation and 13th amendment during and after the American Civil War. We believe in reactivating the term American Freedmen for three purposes:

  1. Reinstate pride that is linked directly to our past.

  2. Advocacy for the establishment of an data disaggregation category for those who share the same heritage as the formerly enslaved victims of chattel slavery and Jim Crow.

  3. Secure redress and justice for the historical harms that continue to plague our community as a result of the badges and remnants of the institution of Slavery.
