Nina May

The Renaissance Foundation is a leadership organization that was founded by Nina May in 1983. The goal is to encourage people to become leaders in their respective areas of influence and to challenge these leaders to new standards of excellence and spiritual renewal.

Projects of the Renaissance Foundation include "Renaissance Women" whose goal is to give women an alternative voice from radical feminism, and the American Renaissance Webcast TV show which features Nina’s commentaries. It also highlights leaders from various professions as guests who have experienced a renaissance in their lives.

The Foundation is also very active in promoting leadership and democracy abroad by hosting political, business, and educational seminars internationally, and by giving testimony before various groups including The U.N. General Assembly and Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Renaissance Foundation is diverse, multi-faceted and is involved in a wide range of issues. They have offices in Seoul, Korea, yet also sponsor single mothers on welfare in their scholarship program to encourage personal responsibility and achievement.


Emancipation Revelation Revolution

The documentary, “Emancipation Revelation/Revolution, discusses the fate of Black Americans who dare leave the plantation of liberalism, political correctness and victimization. “They are riding the underground railroad to free speech and association and rejecting the stereotypes that have been placed on them by the party that claims to be their liberator,” claims author, Mason Weaver.

Without question I believe "Emancipation Revelation/Revolution" to be one of the most quintessential documentaries of factual historical relevance produced in my lifetime.

In a day and time when the overwhelming majority of Americans are blissfully ignorant of the factual history of Black involvement in our two party system; ERR reveals clearly and specifically that which the whitewashing of history has denied so many.

It encourages dialogue and retrospection on a level heretofore not seen. ERR should not only be mandatory viewing, but it deserves a place in every home in America.

A Call to Action

It is time for a renaissance in America. A renaissance of ideas, of values, of leadership, character and virtue. We need a renewal of the America that has been a beacon of truth, freedom, justice and righteousness for generations. The Renaissance Foundation is working to usher in a cultural renewal, a revival of excellence that challenges mediocrity and complacency in our nation. We want to establish a standard of excellence for our leaders and inspire them to rise above status quo, to embrace character and integrity and once again be accountable and responsible for their actions. This standard, when modeled by the leaders, will usher in a renaissance of the heart for all Americans and shift their paradigm from defeat to one of excellence and optimism.

A true renaissance needs to occur that will encompass a philosophy that surpasses political arguments and embodies the spirit of who we were created to be, with inalienable rights, with uncompromised responsibilities, and with a knowledge emblazoned on our hearts of right and wrong. It is time to revitalize a revolution that started over 200 years ago when a handful of men separated themselves from a controlling system that merely extorted and exploited while denying the essence of God’s people to reach their truest potential. That is what our country needs today and Renaissance Foundation is the source of that rebirth of integrity, principle and of purpose that has been stripped from our national psyche.

We want to change the paradigm of America as dysfunctional, paralyzed with anxiety, and afraid to embrace the freedoms we have been blessed with. We have become a nation of whiners…we want to find the winners. We have become a nation of victims…we want to find the victors. We have become a nation of followers … we want to find the leaders. We want to inspire, to love, to give and to challenge people to reject the status quo of mediocrity and embrace the concept and reality of excellence. And the element, the main ingredient that is missing in the discussion of excellence is ironically the only thing that can bring us to the point of understanding our purest potential, our purpose for being, and that is God. We have thrown out the corner stone of the foundation of this building called America, and it will not long stand with a foundation that has crumbled.

How does any movement happen? It begins with a handful of people who believe in something greater that themselves and they are willing to make sacrifices to bring about the change, or the renaissance that is necessary to revitalize the spirit of America. And it only takes a handful of dedicated people who share a common goal and purpose … God’s purpose for their lives. This is called the remnant. Now is the time to pull that remnant together and forge a new direction for America … an American Renaissance.
