Our
Introduction

Welcome to the Electronic Village! The Electronic Village serves
multiple purposes. First, it is the cyberspace home of Hicks
Enterprises. Also, this is a
'virtual village' created in the African tradition
with an eclectic collection of web pages that are updated on a regular
basis. For example, a number
of our web pages are devoted to the history of African American
people...affectionately known here as OURstory.
You can find all of our website updates listed on the Village News
page.
The Electronic Village carries a wide variety of products,
services and other features that you will find useful in the real world. We
invite you to take part in the journey that takes place on web pages devoted to economic
empowerment, information technology, the Black
experience and so much more! Also, we invite you to join
our online
community!
Our
Mission
The
Electronic Village will become a destination for people interested in
obtaining economic freedom & empowerment. We will raise the consciousness of
our Villagers and redirect more of our consumption spending to businesses in
our communities. Villagers have an opportunity to share in a spiritual,
social and financial awakening here in the Electronic Village. We no longer
have to complain about discrimination and disrespect from others...we can now
practice self-respect, self-love, and self-determination here in our own
Electronic Village. Part of developing a larger sense of our self comes
from reading uplifting literature. Check out the Electronic Village Bookstore
for some great reading ideas!
