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.

How Freedmen Nation Works

Freedmen Nation is a self-governing body and Private Membership Association (PMA) operating under the Freedmen Reparations Fund Trust. It serves PMA Verified Freedmen exclusively, offering programs designed to restore economic sovereignty, legal protection, and community power through a private reparative framework. Freedmen Nation provides genealogy assistance, history preservation, political engagement, legal aid, economic development, housing support, education, wellness services, mentorship, and financial literacy—all governed by the Trust’s mission to rebuild and protect the Freedmen status through self-determination and private reparative action.

Regular free membership is granted until genealogy work is completed, at which point verified free members are eligible to receive cash disbursements from the Freedmen Reparations Fund Trust. Join us on this empowering journey towards self-discovery and community support.
