This is not a fundraising appeal. This message was recorded to simply say thank you.
In this special message recorded during Kwanzaa, Dr. Ron Daniels, President of the Institute of the Black World 21st Century, expresses deep gratitude to friends, supporters, and sustaining contributors who make the work of IBW21 possible—not only through financial support, but through solidarity, participation, and shared commitment.
Dr. Daniels also offers a brief look ahead at the ambitious work before us: advancing political literacy and civic engagement, reimagining public safety, strengthening the reparations movement through the National African American Reparations Commission, expanding international Pan-African collaboration, continuing the Grenada Pilgrimage of History and Hope, and growing the Black World Media Network as a global voice for conscious culture, music, and news.
