AIM: To Educate, Enlighten, and Empower American Freedmen by Providing Knowledge, Information, and Resources.

  • Resistance to Limitations 

To facilitate our AIM Freedmen University has:

  1. Provided Information on Various Historical Categories of American Freedmen Greatness in One Place.

Testimonials 

When I first seen Freedmen University I thought GTFOH... Is this REAL? Started going through the information and never looked back.  That Freedmen Bank video on the 3rd Enrollment page really hit emotionally and it assisted in my motivation. Not Only have I earned my Diamond Hands, but my new motivation has become that FU Money. - Tyleed Huggins

 

I was told to visit Freedmen University, and the exact words used was "it will change your life." And it did! I did not know I was a Freedmen or what a Freedmen even was. I ESPECIALLY did not know about all those Great Black People on them links. I thought that was the life changing part. But when I checked out DHU. OMFG! Before I even gave them my email, I learned about a bunch of stuff I NEVER knew or thought about. Like our Freedmen Bank Money! - Amyra Sloan

 

The idea of going to a University is not something I thought would happen in my life. When people ask me Where did you learn about that? How did you learn to do this? Who taught you that? I am PROUD to say I Earned my "Diamond Hands" through Freedmen University - Richard Deas
