In the middle of the protests over police brutality and a pandemic, 19 black families have joined forces and purchased 96.71 acres of land in Toomsboro, Georgia.

They plan to build a new, safe city there.


Ashley Scott, a Georgia-based realtor, started The Freedom Georgia Initiative with a few like-minded people.

Scott explained that the idea came after the death of Ahmaud Arbery, a black man who was killed by a group of white men while out on a jog.

“I am concerned. At times distraught. For the first time ever in my life, I felt disempowered. So much so that the overachieving, solution-oriented, practical, non-emotional person that I am had to stop,” Scott wrote.


“I sought counseling from a black therapist and it helped.

It helped me to realize that what we as black people are suffering from is racial trauma.

We are dealing with systemic racism.

We are dealing with deep-rooted issues that will require more than protesting in the streets.

It will take for us as a people, as Atlanta rapper and activist Killer Mike so eloquently put, ‘To plot, plan, strategize, organize and mobilize.’

The group joined several Facebook groups discussing building black cities and new Black Wall Streets, and it turned out there were more people who shared the same desires.


Together, they began to look for ways to change the world for the better in whatever way they could.

“We wanted to make some kind of difference that could ensure the safety of our black sons and black husbands when they went about their lives just breathing and being.

We wanted to do something to amass black power to affect real change.”

“We figured we could try to fix a broken system or we could start fresh.

Start a city that could be a shining example of being the change you want to see.

We wanted to be more involved in creating the lives we really want for our black families.

And maybe, just maybe, create some generational wealth for ourselves by investing in the land.

Investing in creating a community that is built around our core values and beliefs.”

The plan is to create a community with green, environmentally safe, and eco-friendly building materials that honor Mother Nature

A community that is self-sufficient and thriving with a living food system built by black farmers to provide food security for all their neighbors.

A community that prioritizes diversity and inclusion by hiring BIPOC and women vendors, suppliers and contractors, a community that boasts accessible spaces for all people.

Finally, a community where all black folks could come home without being murdered by police.

Until we all as Creatures Created by God Almighty in His Image Decide to Submit to The one who created us, We will keep Going in Circles..

Look at Chicago in the USA ! There is Hardly a day that passes Where Blacks don't kill their Fellow Blacks ! Same goes in Africa, in Nigeria, etc

We all are Images of God..

What will make us One is when we ALL Submit to God our Creator.
Outside that , we will Keep Decieving ourselves..

When it's completed, thats where their government will use to conduct their highly classified experiments.
Their food, water, soil and the air they breath are still controlled by the whites
The black skin is much safer in Africa than anywhere else in the world,
Little is known that this is the greatest fear of the white man.

imagine if 19 white families purchased 97 acres of land in Nigeria to build "white city"

� how does that sound?.

black people like doing things on the extreme..

look at what they are doing in a white man's country. if it was the other way round they will be the ones to scream racism.

they should use that money and come and develop Africa and stop fighting to be accepted in a white man's country.

This is a classic example of a white elephant project.

A more sensible idea would have been to invest in businesses or in sectors that will yield direct benefit to Black Americans.

True to some extent, not like some rich black Americans like diddy, 50cent and others are not crime sponsors anyway.
