The SPOMA Committee

The SPOMA Committee Embraces a rich and culturally inclusive history of all Americans.

Mission:
We aim to uncover the missing history of the Black and Indigenous Natives here in the Town of Montgomery and of the Greater Hudson Valley. Our Goal is to create a legacy of remembrance and continuance for the Sacred Place of My Ancestors. Through historical findings, development of curriculum, community education, and cultural celebration, we strive to recreate a more accurate and inclusi

ve narrative of our history which promotes cross-cultural dialogue and exchange for people of all colors and nationalities to engender a more united and harmonious Hudson Valley

I am overjoyed by the adoption by the UN General Assembly of the resolution declaring the trafficking of enslaved Africans and racialised chattel enslavement of Africans as the gravest crime against humanity.

The process of its realisation, from idea to reality, was made possible by the solidarity of people of good conscience around the world and led by the active coalition of the African Union, CARICOM and other groups.

I cannot think of a better way to honour our forebears on the day of remembrance than to have the majority of the world’s countries affirm that the trafficking and enslavement of nearly 13 million human beings is, indeed, the gravest crime against humanity.

One of those forebears, François-Dominique Toussaint L’Ouverture, who was born into slavery but became one of the architects of Haiti’s liberation, the first independent nation in Latin America and the Caribbean, said: “The greatest weapon against oppression is unity.”

We must stand united in seeking the restoration of the humanity and dignity of our forbears who were enslaved and sold.
