On the Shoulders of Giants, Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing awareness to the worldwide contributions of the heroes and cultures of the African Diaspora, both of which have given the world hope and freedom. The purpose of On the Shoulders of Giants, Inc. is to provide an alternative and positive perspective of the history of the African diaspora, which challenges the negative rhetoric that is commonly told of non-white persons throughout the world. Our past is significant because of the plight we have had to overcome and in some aspects, are still overcoming to be considered human beings.
On the Shoulders of Giants understands that it is important to recognize and be aware of the contributions of those before us, especially those of African or Indigenous descent. We intend to bring light to the major accomplishments of the people representing the African Diaspora. We also feel that it is important for the non-white youth of the world to understand the significant impact that people of their culture and other cultures have made to the world.
It is apparent that our American educational system has not placed value on or acknowledged the impact that a proper cultural education has on African-American, African, Hispanic and Latino youth. Through On the Shoulders of Giants, we use out-of-the-box educational methods that allow us to take advantage of today’s technology as a means of educating our children. We look to help fill the educational void that is causing our youth to miss out on knowledge of the richness of the history of the African diaspora. Our On the Shoulders of Giants historical information, educational methods, web series, African history curricula, lesson plans, webinars, seminars, workshops, Debate Team, and Builders of Forever Research Program, seek to bridge the gap our American educational systems and culture have created.
