Who We Are
How the Trust Operates
What Verification Means
Freedmen Nation is the membership and verification division of the Freedmen Reparations Fund Trust (FRFT).
We are:
-
A Private Membership Association (PMA)
-
A private, trust-governed body
-
The official entry point into the FRFT governance system
-
Not a government agency or state reparations portal
FRFT preserves identity integrity, protects lineage rights, and governs the Verified Freedmen community under private trust law.
FRFT’s verification system is the second step of the PMA membership process.
It is a historical and genealogical confirmation model that evaluates:
-
Pre-1865 lineage records
-
1870 and 1880 census continuity
-
Vital records
-
Bureau records
-
Probate and estate documents
-
Other historical archives
Verification determines status within the Trust, not race, genetics, or state eligibility.
Verification through FRFT:
-
Confirms status for membership approval
-
Ensures historical accuracy
-
Prevents misclassification and identity dilution
-
Does not enroll anyone in a government program
FRFT functions through a unified structure:
-
Freedmen Nation PMA manages membership, genealogy, documentation, and verification
-
AFLF provides legal protection, enforcement, and advocacy
Together, they maintain the cultural, legal, and historical framework governing Verified Freedmen.
