The objective of the African Scientific Research Institute (ASRI) is to include social enterprise activities that will produce viable economic and entrepreneurial entities in blighted, dis-invested, rural and urban communities. The African Diaspora Heritage Trail (ADHT) is an international cultural tourism initiative that promotes socially conscious travel, to significant sites that advance the narratives and cultural contributions of people of African descent. ADHT is designed to educate visitors and safeguard the core values and creativity of African cultures and history, while promoting the local culture and language to stimulate the economy.

ASRI serves as an advocate for the long forgotten African progenitors, and gives voice and identification to those entombed in disregarded burial grounds. Our task is to identify African progenitors in the Americas, circa 1628 to 1888-95, and preserve the burial grounds by advocating for burial chamber protection. In the extreme case of necessary disinterment ASRI will advocate repatriate to land of origin or a proper burial ground. This may require the development of policy-relevant public service initiatives to improve preservation, conservation and management of the remains of the African progenitors in the Americas. This will provide a historic collection of biological artifacts which will ensure proper documentation and that respect is paid to the legacy of African contributions on the world stage.
