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.
Our values
Our mission is guided by the enduring doctrine of our society--supernatural love, peace and hramony, and truth--and our core values, which include:
