The 400 Years of African-American History Commission develops and facilitates activities throughout the United States, commemorating the 400th anniversary of the arrival of Africans in the English colonies at Point Comfort, Virginia in 1619. We recognize and highlight the resilience and contributions of African Americans from that seminal moment forward, while simultaneously acknowledging the painful impact of slavery, racial discrimination, and racism on our Nation.
Join the 400 Years of African American History Commission, The Faith and Justice Advisory Committee on April 28th at the Potter’s House of Fort Worth for the third annual National Returning Citizens Conference. A day of engaging discussions, a powerful keynote address, and plenary sessions addressing life after incarceration, this year’s conference is hosted by the Texas Offenders Reentry Initiative (TORI).
