A mission worthy
of our best efforts
From the Abolitionist to the Civil Rights movement- there has never been a movement that fights for equal ECONOMIC opportunity until now. It’s called ALPHA MISSION.
Thanks to some of history’s great thinkers, we have made progress in the past, and that is replicable today if we do the same things that they did.
Why Alpha Mission was Created
We Choose To Go to The Moon
We have made progress, but we have unfinished business

Accomplishment

Chicago's Johnsons
Chicago’s three Johnson’s played an important role in the nation’s economy, character and aspiration for the country’s black community.
