The African Holocaust Memorial Commission (AHMC) is an organization based in Chicago, Illinois dedicated to preserving and honoring the memory of the African Holocaust. The AHMC was founded in 1999 by a group of African-American activists, scholars, and clergy members in response to the ongoing erasure of African history in the United States. The AHMC works to bring attention to the history and legacy of the African Holocaust, which refers to the enslavement and suffering of millions of Africans throughout the diaspora.

The AHMC seeks to recognize and remember the African Holocaust, its victims, and its legacies through a variety of initiatives. These initiatives include public education, dialogue, and advocacy. The AHMC also works to create educational resources and materials to be used in schools, churches, and other public spaces. The AHMC also partners with local organizations and institutions to host public events and activities to commemorate and celebrate African-American history and culture.

The AHMC’s primary mission is to build a memorial in Chicago dedicated to the memory of the African Holocaust. This memorial is intended to be a physical representation of the African Holocaust and a reminder of the atrocities committed against Africans throughout the diaspora. The AHMC is currently in the process of raising funds and awareness for the memorial. The organization is also committed to creating a public space where people can come together to learn and dialogue about the history of the African Holocaust.
