      <title>The Young Black Futurists Society HQ | Building the World Our Ancestors Dreamed. 🌍 by Mama Nia Sadé</title>
      <link>https://padlet.com/nianatalacademy/theyoungblackfuturistssociety</link>
      <description>Project Overview You are now part of The Young Black Futurist Society (YBFS) — a collective of visionary youth building a new world for Black and oppressed people. You are the great-grandchildren of the Black Liberation Movement, and the world as we know it has ended in 2025. Your mission: to rebuild a free, just, and thriving Black world using the lessons, values, and demands of the Black Panther Party’s Ten Point Program as your foundation. The question that drives your work: What does freedom look like when we are truly free? You and your classmates will design a new society that embodies what liberation should feel, look, and operate like. Together, you’ll create systems of education, wellness, culture, economy, and governance that reflect your collective vision for the future.⚡ Your Mission: Form working groups that represent the structure of your new society. Use the Ten Point Program as a foundation to design your world’s Constitution, laws, systems, and culture. Create visual and digital artifacts (flags, seals, documents, currency, slogans, media, etc.) that bring your new world to life. Present your completed world in our Final Showcase: “The Birth of a New World.”</description>
