Objectives:

The objectives of the organization are Historical, Educational, Memorial, and Patriotic: 

• To promote the connection of descendants of the Forced American Heroes, the enslaved people of African descent, to their ancestors through genealogy research;  
• To proclaim, through education, the role played by the Africans forcibly brought to United States in creating our nation, including their endurance of the cruelties of American slavery, their resourceful intellect; their extraordinarily strong will and spirit, and their connections to their descendants who have gone on to make our country greater. We want to especially commemorate the connections to all military soldiers; 
• To educate the nation and world about the contribution of the enslaved and their descendants;
• To cherish and to strengthen the family ties among the members of the SDUSMP; and
• To collect, protect, and preserve the materials necessary for a complete history of slavery, and to mark the places of the sacrifice of these men, women, and children; our ancestors.  This is including, but not limited to, historically significant sites such as churches, battle sites, freedom trails, grave sites, plantations, and museums.  Lest we forget.
