ABOUT THE 400 YEARS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY COMMISSION The 400 Years of African American History Commission Act, signed into law January 8, 2018, established a 15-member commission to coordinate the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in the English colonies. The Commission’s purpose is to plan, develop, and carry out programs and activities throughout the United States that recognize and highlight the resilience and cultural contributions of Africans and African Americans over 400 years; Acknowledges the impact of slavery and laws that enforced racial discrimination on the United States; Encourages civic, patriotic, historical, educational, artistic, religious, and economic organizations to organize and take part in anniversary activities and assists states, localities, and nonprofit organizations to further the commemoration and coordinate public scholarly research about the arrival of Africans and their contributions to the United States. Visit our website at www.400yaahc.gov. ABOUT THE NATIONAL ALLLIANCE OF FAITH AND JUSTICE In 2000, the National Alliance of Faith and Justice, www.nafj.org, invited the nation for its first year to join in extending the holiday and service weekend beginning on the Sabbath and continuing through the formal national observance of Justice Sunday, observed on the day before the federal holiday. The observance was so named in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in his vocation as a faith leader and drum major for justice. The word “justice” appears in many of the most cherished documents of the United States to include the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Pledge of Allegiance. Each year, NAFJ, municipal, faith, and national partners like the National Association of Blacks in Criminal Justice (NABCJ) continue the tradition of the commemorative weekend to honor the diverse armies of faith, justice, and compassion of all ages, past and present, whose sacrifices continue to illuminate the human spirit and dignity.
