The New Black Man Movement
A BLACK MANIFESTO: THE NEW BLACK MAN MOVEMENT
Developed From A Concept Conceived By Bert Elmore with The Contributions of Many Conscientious Black Men
Black Lawyers and community supporters call for the creation of a New Black Man Movement to counter the attacks against the Black man here in Philadelphia and across the nation. It is now apparent that the time has come for Black men to address the unrelenting attempts by forces of the New Jim Crow to criminalize us, especially young Black men.
It is TIME!!!
Time For A NEW Movement
We recognize that progress has occurred over the past 60 years. Today, Black men can safely walk the streets of Philadelphia and other major cities without fear of being attacked by a gang of white citizens; These attacks resulted in Black men being seriously brutalized simply because of the color of their skin and for being in the wrong neighborhood.

The Manifesto In Bert's Words
The Agendas
There are currently 10 Agendas in The Manifesto. Bert briefly speaks in a little more detail the idea behind each of the Agendas. All 10 Agenda Overview Videos will be available on the YouTube Channel. Please learn more about The Movement by reading the Manifesto available here on the website.
FIRST AGENDA: DESTROY SELF-HATE
Community &
Collaborations
A new nationwide movement is the only way Black men can respond to the constant attacks by more sophisticated measures of oppression. This new movement will allow Black men, young and old, and from diverse backgrounds, to develop a unified common strategy of a new positive Black male image and culture. To develop a new Black man image and culture, every Black man must unify and undergo a lifestyle transformation that rebuilds their characters and our communities.
The New Black Man Movement will concentrate on destroying the concepts of Black self-hate,
self-defeating attitudes, and the massive distrust between and among Black men. The slave culture of self-hate that was forced on us for hundreds of years must go. We must replace our slave culture with a culture that promotes unity, trust, and power.
The New Black Man Movement can create answers and provide solutions to the gun violence that is causing real concern among Black men in Philadelphia, including other major cities in the United States.
