USBA 2025 is the digital platform for the United States of Black America and the central location for Foundational Black Americans (FBAs), the lineage formed through U.S. chattel slavery before 1865.
It provides the structure needed to define FBA lineage, protect identity from distortion, and establish the foundation required for restoration and reparative justice.
USBA is not a political party, service provider, or reparations payout program. It is a national framework designed to restore clarity, order, and shared responsibility across generations.
For generations, the FBA lineage has been blurred by broad racial categories that erase identity and obscure lineage-specific harm.
This lack of clarity leads to:
USBA exists to correct these distortions by restoring identity clarity. Identity is the foundation for every form of repair.
The USBA ecosystem is not an organization or initiative. It is a lineage-based national framework that provides structure and guidance.
This includes:
It prevents us from being diluted or absorbed into racial categories such as “Black,” “African American,” “minority,” or “people of color.”
The USBA ecosystem is built on three integrated layers:
Identity — Who We Are
Defines the FBA lineage and protects our cultural and historical continuity. This is the starting point for all engagement.
Structure — How Our Conditions Were Made
Explains how laws, policies, and institutions shaped FBA life. This layer aligns with SSDHs, which show how systems produced inequality.
Alignment — How We Move Forward
Provides guidance so individuals, creators, leaders, and institutions engage with FBA communities responsibly and with order.
USBA operates in three coordinated phases:
Phase I — Identity (Current Phase)
Establishes FBA lineage clarity, standards, cultural markers, and national identity assets. Identity is necessary for coherence and repair.
Phase II — Restoration
Focuses on rebuilding community stability, wellbeing, and connection after generations of structural harm.
Phase III — Governance
Creates long-term structure, policy, and shared accountability so restoration is protected over time.
USBA 2025 organizes the ecosystem into four core components:
See the Reparations tools for lineage-based documentation and structural analysis that reinforces the logic behind the ecosystem.
USBA 2025 provides clear entry points for different audiences:
Individuals
Use the platform to understand FBA lineage, clarify identity, and learn the foundational terms, protections, and structural logic of the ecosystem.
Creators & Public Figures
Use the platform to maintain accurate language, narrative discipline, and alignment with FBA identity standards before producing or sharing public content.
Institutions & Partners
Use the platform to study lineage distinctions, avoid misclassification, and prepare for future alignment as partnership pathways open in later phases.

The USBA Constitution establishes the full structure of the United States of Black America.
It defines the national framework, the rights of Foundational Black Americans, our covenant, and the systems that guide identity, restoration, governance, and long-term stability.
This document is the foundation of the USBA ecosystem and provides the structure, standards, and direction needed for FBAs to move as a nation within a nation.
Chicago is the capital of the United States of Black America because it reflects the full arc of the FBA experience and the clearest impact of federal policy.
It is where national strategy becomes local practice and where Restoration Zones can be tested and scaled.
Chicago demonstrates:
Chicago is the capital because it shows the nation who we are, what we survived, and how the Restoration begins.
The USBA ecosystem was created through years of professional experience working across public health, research administration, policy, and institutional systems. This work navigates how identity misclassification, unclear data, and structural gaps affect outcomes for Foundational Black Americans in health, education, housing, and governance.
USBA is grounded in practical experience. It draws from research methods, policy analysis, compliance standards, and place-based initiatives to ensure that identity clarity can be applied in real-world settings, not just discussed in theory. The framework is designed to meet academic standards and support long-term stability.
USBA exists to restore clarity, structure, and direction to the FBA lineage. Its foundation is identity, order, and disciplined restoration, built to last beyond any individual or moment.
Begin with identity.
That is where restoration starts.
