The Metanoia Project

The Metanoia Project 2007-2034 (Teach) and (BAC) was launched as a social movement on 10 December 2007, the annual anniversary of International Human’s Right Day.

The term ‘Metanoia’, meaning ‘transformation’/‘repentance’, indicates the quality of dedication and commitment to personal and social responsibility required from each of us. This is if we are to achieve racial and social justice and so the kind of world we all want for ourselves and our generations.

TMP 2007-2034 (Teach) and (BAC) is directly linked to William Wilberforce’s two projects: the abolition of the slave trade/slavery and the reformation of manners (culture).  The formal abolition of the slave trade was achieved in 1807 and the institution of slavery in 1834.  It took 27 years between the abolition of the slave trade being agreed in parliament and enslaved Africans actually gaining their freedom from the physical institution spawned from the slave trade, in law, in 1834.

Wilberforce died before his second project – the reformation of manners – could be achieved.  CBACS, via The Metanoia Project 2007-2034, takes up the baton of Wilberforce’s second project – the reformation of manners – to finally free the world from the on-going legacies of this crime against humanity.

William Wilberforce’s second project, and so our freedom as a human race, is achieved each time one or the other of us gives up on the ‘black’ and ‘white’ identities that keeps physical and psychological slavery flourishing as a growing industry in the global economy of the 21^st century.BAC: Focus is on supporting descendants of enslaved Africans in becoming conscious creators of culture in our own right. This is as we undergo the identity formation process together. Our goal is psychological maturity, enabling us to become ‘free within ourselves’. 

Teach: Focus on this strand is in sharing knowledge gained from drawing on the professional knowledge of the ages. This is with a view to studying the black life experience by subjecting it to professional knowledge facilitating cultural analysis.

The Metanoia Project consists of two strands (linked below):
