ROAR INTERNATIONAL
workshop in Ruleville, MS facilitated by the Legendary Mrs. Victoria
Gray Adams. We adopted Adams' 5-Steps Process Model. This
journey to shine a light on Fannie Lou Hamer has permitted ROAR'S
path to cross (physically, via phone, mail or email) with many people
who worked with Mrs. Hamer and are doing things to commemorate
her legacy; among them, Mrs. Victoria Gray Adams, Mrs. Unita
Blackwell, Mr. Owen Brooks, Mr. Charles McLaurin, the Rev. Jesse
Jackson, Dr. Maya Angelou, New Jersey's Secretary of State Regena
Thomas, Ms. June E. Johnson and Mr. Hollis Watkins.
THE ROAR FOUNDATION, INCORPORATION
is a non-profit organization first founded in 1994 in Minneapolis,
Minnesota by Patricia M. Thompson to assist kids to get out of gangs
by locating and providing resources. ROAR reorganized in 2000 to
include Cultural Arts & Computer Technology as venues for education
and entertainment.
Repaying Our Ancestors Respectfully's
