Security and Prosperity for the Global Black Community
Principles and Beliefs
Jonathan McGovern
Jonathan McGovern is a security specialist on a quest to educate African-Americans and the African diaspora on the need to protect ourselves, our great riches, our image, history, and our culture. I believe that our defense is most important. Every aspect of our lives needs to be security-focused. From the foods we consume to the curriculum of education, it all needs to be rooted in protecting ourselves. As a business manager, and REALTOR I realize how easy is it to get focused on minutia. The world would have the Black Community major in minor issues while gentrification consumes the remaining fragments of our formerly vibrant community. We have the necessary tools to guard ourselves, but we lack focus and consistency. Let’s use our collective experience to safeguard ourselves.
Areas of Focus
Security
Physical, financial, legal, and reputation are a few of the aspects of security that we need to protect.
Real Estate
The most important asset is real estate. From agriculture to manufacturing, nations need land to exist.
Communication
We will find our greatest success when we remove chatter and respectfully share our ideas with one another.
Wealth
Learning the principles of wealth development and making sure our children know them as well.
Education
Mastery of self and historical knowledge are the two cornerstones of a healthy community.
Strategy
The ascendency of a people scorned is impossible without a well-executed plan.
About the Initiative
This website is the birthplace of new ideas on how to view and interact with our community. Up from the limitations of segregation, with a complete understanding of how much the Black community has been impacted by public policy and de facto racism. Our purpose in this website is to take an honest look at the Black experience and plot a course to protect ourselves physically, economically, and politically. Our single greatest mistake is to believe that the future of the Black Community lies in something or someone other than the Black Community. We must recognize this mistake and commit ourselves to never making it again. It takes a lot of faith for a downtrodden community to abandon our past methods to address maltreatment. But those methods have not worked, and we should be eager to move toward something that does work for the protection and wealth of the Black Community.
