Proclamation from the City of Hampton and Mayor George Wallace

After it's 3rd year, Remembrance has received a proclamation that from this day forth, June 14th, annually the 2nd Saturday in June will be recognized as The Sankofa Projects International Day of Remembrance. We are an International Movement and are very proud of this recognition by our city and Mayor Wallace. The proclamation was read by Vice Mayor Curtis on Remembrance day on June 14, 2014. Thank you to Toni Cade Bambara for igniting this passion in us to remember the African Bines in the briny deep."
