Festival Mission:

The Africans in America Festival commemorates the forced enslavement and transportation of millions of Africans to the Americas and the Caribbean Islands. Thus, the festival supports African descendants in the Diaspora who are seeking to embark on a spiritual quest for further enlightenment, discovery, development and fulfillment whilst confronting a troubling past and coming to terms with their true self.
