PURPOSE


WHY THE PROHUMAN FOUNDATION




AMERICA WAS BUILT ON THE PROMISE THAT ALL OF US WERE CREATED EQUAL.

There are times when we have fallen short. But together, we have made immense
progress. In the seven decades since Brown v. Board of Education ushered in the
start of the civil rights movement, our country has become more diverse and, in
many ways, more accepting.


And yet, in this age of unprecedented advancement, it can feel like we are
heading in the wrong direction. Dehumanization of those in “the other tribe” has
become normalized. On social media, the marketplace of ideas has been replaced
by the echo chamber of ideology. Small differences are amplified. Racist and
reductionist ideas proliferate.


The defining question of our time is: How do we break through the demonization
and division, and find the courage to move forward together?


We believe that embracing the foundational truth, that every person is a unique
individual united by our shared humanity, is what will allow us to continue to
advance.

MEET OUR CO-FOUNDER

Daryl Davis
Co-Founder and Global Ambassador
Join Us Today

“While many programs and platforms have been created reactively to address
discrimination and racial, religious, gender and political polarization, there
has been no uniform standard and some have worked better than others. As a
result, some well-intentioned efforts have been ineffective or even harmful.

The Prohuman Foundation is not a reactive organization. It is a proactive
organization with a long vision on the future. We design curriculum and
programs, built around preventive measures to mitigate those issues to which
other platforms only react.  

Seventy years ago, at start of the civil rights movement, America prided itself
on being a melting pot of cultures during a time when honest diversity barely
existed.

Today we have made immense progress, and are truly a melting pot with
increasingly global diversity—which some do not embrace, or find difficult to
navigate. 

The Prohuman Foundation is needed today as a stable partner, guaranteeing every
person is treated as a unique individual, and assured a sense of belonging based
on our shared humanity.”

ABOUT DARYL DAVIS

Chicago native Daryl Davis graduated from Howard University with a degree in
Jazz.  As a pianist, vocalist and guitarist, he has played all over the world

But it's what Daryl does in his free time that sets him apart. To find the
answer to his question, "How can you hate me when you don't even know me?" Daryl
meets and builds relationships with members of the Ku Klux Klan.

Daryl's TED talk about his unorthodox approach Why I, as a black man, attend KKK
rallies has over 12 million views.
In the film Accidental Courtesy, Daryl's journey takes him all across the
country to meet Klan leaders and many others.
