We envision a world in which the false ideology of a hierarchy of human value rooted in "pigmentation supremacy” no longer exists.

In its place, we envision a new and abiding reality of love and justice for all members of our one humanity. As we engage in our work of racial healing in America, the Descendants Truth & Reconciliation Foundation intends to be a transformative light throughout the United States and the world in pursuit of Justice and Equality for all children of God.

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
