Our Victorious City
Emerald Dinner
Great Blacks In Wax Museum, 1601 E. North Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21213
Our Victorious City (OVC) was established in honor of Victorious Khan Swift, a very charismatic, creative and committed youth leader in Baltimore City who was tragically snatched from the living world on March 26, 2017, by an armed robber. Ironically, his assailant was likely one of the people he fought for along with other strong Pan-Afrikan activists in the long, often painful and usually thankless struggle for truth and justice on the streets of Baltimore City.
Victorious Khan Swift’s 22nd Earth Day (Birthday) would have been this coming February 17. Every year, in his honor, his mother, community organizer and Elder Mama Victory Swift, organizes the Emerald Dinner, which is held at the Historic Great Blacks In Wax Museum in East Baltimore. This year’s event will be held on Saturday, February 15.
Mama Victory Swift, Founder and Chairperson of Our Victorious City, offers these comments on her Facebook page:
