Today on this day of February 1, Charles Remond was born – but the real question is do you know who Charles Remond was? The real Sir Charles: From Salem, Massachusetts, he was the son of free Blacks, 
John and Nancy Remond. He joined the Anti-Slavery Society and in 1838 became its first African-American lecturer. An outstanding orator, Remond spoke at public meetings in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, New York and Pennsylvania. In 1840 Remond went on a lecture tour of Europe and while in England attended the World's Anti-Slavery Convention in London.
During the Civil War, Remond recruited Black soldiers for the Union Army in Massachusetts. After the war he worked as a Boston street light inspector and a clerk in the Boston Customs House. Charles Lenox Remond died in Massachusetts on the 22nd of December 1873.
Sir Charles, was a pioneer that paved the way for new generations, and next generation of men with families who are descendents from the oppression of slavery. Families that have a built in history, in this country – families that have built this country on their backs – with innovation, labor and passion! Without Sir Charles, the story of TheFanNJ couldn’t and wouldn’t be possible.
TheFanNJ’s message – the 21 centuries greatest problem and the most important issue is the slavery on poverty. That’s the new form of racism, the new form of slavery, and the new form of discrimination. The fight against slavery didn’t end on race; it didn’t stop on color – the fight shifted to financial terms. Join my Anti-Slavery, Anti-Poverty movement.
