The Wall of Return™ Project
Diversity Restoration Solutions, Inc., (DRS) a U.S.-based international trade development and cultural diversity training organization, invites you to be part of a business commerce and cultural heritage project that will help to unity Americans and Africans in the global economic community. This project is called Wall of Return™.
The Wall of Return is DRS’ economic and historic healing response to the “Door of No Return” that was part of many slave ports and castles on the West Coast of Africa. Enslaved Africans walked through these doors when they were captured and placed on slave ships for the journey to the Americas, with many never knowing they would not return to their homeland. The Wall of Return is a way to honor their memory and their family’s symbolic "returning home" to Africa - home to many by ancestry or birth - fulfilling the dream that many of them never thought would be possible. It will also be the completion of a journey of over 400 years for many families.
What will be the Impact to the U.S. and International Communities?
The Wall of Return™ will promote and encourage improved and healing relationships between all parties affected left by the perils of the transatlantic slave trade regardless of race. Project supporters will also be people of African descent from South America, North America, Caribbean Islands, Africa and other countries throughout the world.
For businesses that participate in international trade and commerce, this unique healing project will offer people of any ethnic background on both sides of the Atlantic and around the world, a central location where they can connect.
How Can I be part of the Wall of Return™ project?
If you are an individual, just sign up to purchase a name line on the WALL OF RETURN starting at just $15 per individual for the outside name wall engravement. This permanent naming opportunity will allow people of any ethnic descent across the world to make a difference.
Specific areas where name walls will be located inside and outside of the Restoration Center include:
♦ Outside Garden Walls
♦ Inside Gallery Walls
♦ Business Commerce Center Walls
♦ Educational Wing Walls
Register your name(s) at https://register.wallofreturn.org.
