A Black History Month Event with a Difference
On February 28, 2004 Jamii Africa hosted the first of a unique type of Black History Month event.  Education, in the broad sense, is a critical component in our path to mutual understanding, pride in our identity, and the fruits thereof.  Black History Month provides a many opportunities to educate ourselves, and reorient our focus and energies towards the ultimate prize.

Traditionally, Black History Month has been a time to recognize and celebrate the achievement of peoples of African descent in the Americas and Caribbean.  Jamii Africa brings in a new element by broadening the field to include the contribution of Africans from the motherland.

The primary objective of this format is to re-emphasize our common heritage and destiny as African peoples.   We will continue to include our children in these educational events to ensure the torch is carried across the generations.
