What We Do

1. Provide Historical And Cultural Facts

Columbia, South America has the third (3rd) largest population of people of African descent in the western hemisphere, behind the U.S and Brazil?

In 1792, 1200 freed slaves who’d left the U.S. and settled in Nova Scotia, Canada, chose to leave the Western world for the “Province of Freedom” –a place we now know as Freetown, Sierra Leone, West Africa?

The Underground Railroad extended as far north as Canada, such to as Windsor, Nova Scotia and Vancouver, and as far south as Mexico and the Caribbean Islands?

The majority of the world’s chocolate supply is grown in West Africa?

2. We Strengthen Our Community

1. Promote positive values in culture and education of the African Diaspora;

2. Promote dignity and creativity in the world affairs of the African Diaspora; and

3. Develop and sustain a vehicle for cultures of the African Diaspora and others to develop the abilities of its people to advance their holistic well-being through positive motivation and intercultural relationships. Through theatrics, music, history, poetry, and dance, we strive to educate our communities about the heritage of the people of Africa and the Diaspora, while building bridges that connect the large spectrum of our various cultures.
