For two decades the foundation has partnered with the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand of Pennsylvania to the Prince Hall Children's Festival in the Hunting Park neighborhood in Philadelphia.

Human & Civil Rights Advocacy

Our namesake Absalom Jones was the first black and freedman to be ordained as a priest. Jones took part in the first group of African Americans to petition the U.S. Congress.

Their petition related to the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793, which they criticized for encouraging cruelty and brutality, as well as supporting the continuing criminal practice of kidnapping free blacks and selling them into slavery. As our namesake, the foundation works to give voices to the voiceless and empowered those in search of equality, justice and socioeconomic parity.
