blackrose of remembrance

we will remember...

Established in 2010 to commemorate the contributions made by the African/Black/Caribbean/West Indies/ Pacific Islands/Indigenous Nations to Wars, Rebellions & Revolutions since the sixteenth century.

BlackPoppyRose focuses on the understanding of

War/Counter-War through the military term

BlackRose of Remembrance focuses on those who fought wars on;

Economics, Education, Entertainment, Labour, Law, Politics, Religion, Sex/Identity

why is this important?

Respect the key component to our identity.

It is each individual and our collective duties to remember the choices made by those who came before us.

We do this with our own thoughts, feelings and understanding as we have been taught to view world events through the eyes of those who value their history, heritage and genealogy.

We ALL have been impacted by wars/revolutions & rebellions and should learn about how these events impacted the imbalances we experience in the twenty-first century.

When you wear a BlackPoppyRose / BlackRose of Remembrance pin you actively engage in an on-going remembrance as the conversations you have , share and learn from, keep the memories of our ancestors who served, contributed and sacrificed to change the world.

Is that not worth remembering?
