WELCOME
Our Mission and Ethos The Black Knowledge Society (TBKS) is a resource hub comprising:
• a monthly publication - attached
• live online community, via Zoom – where we move, ‘from editorial to points of action’
• social media network Our primary ambition is to signpost the global black community to existing, credible resources that seek to unite us and inspire transformative action. Rather than reinvent the wheel, we hold fast to our core values, by elevating the great works of the myriad enlightened leaders, scholars, activists, and great minds from within our global community.
We celebrate and honour both acclaimed and lesser-known names in a coherent, digestible form, accessible to even the newly “woke”.
We believe unity through education is the fundamental building block, through which all other forms of social, economic and political prosperity are derived.
Our freedom lies in embracing our true selves: the accomplished, brilliant and resourceful people we were pre-slavery – and still are! Equally critical is that we do not make this effort to build ourselves up at the expense of another group's downfall.
Our efforts are not motivated by hate of the 'other'; instead, born out of love for self (hence our strapline 'know thyself, love thyself'). When motivated by love and passion we can do a wealth of transformative good.
At TBKS, we are committed to living our values of self-love, unity, cooperation and community elevation.
We are always keen to here from prospective partners, collaborators and sponsors who share our core values, to promote and preserve the mission.

OBAMA FOUNDATION
The Barack Obama Foundation was created in January 2014 to lay the groundwork for the President and First Lady's philanthropic activities after the President leaves the White House in January 2017. The Foundation's first major project is the creation of a Library and Museum, in partnership with the National Archives and Records Administration.
