About The Moors
Moors is the world's first African American Ethnicly based cultural organization. It is a body of knowledge and a system of ethics based on the belief that every Negro man and woman have a responsibility to improve him or herself through a devotion to their ancestry, faith, our Mother Earth, and the greater Negro family.
As Moors, we lead by example, manage and administrate our communities, and support numerous Moors philanthropies. We invest in our families, our African American Reservations, and our future.
