African Student Association Celebrates Africa Week

04/18/15

It’s Africa Week 2015, and IC African Students Association is in the middle of an amazing lineup of events to celebrate.  IC ASA is dedicated to spreading political, social, educational, cultural and media awareness about the continent of Africa.  On Monday, they hosted their inaugural speaker, Solome Lemma, a philanthropist, activist and organizer, who spoke about the ways in which we can engage and promote diverse, nuanced, and dignified narratives of the continent of Africa.  There are many other events taking place this week including a movie screening, a panel, and a fashion show. 

All these events lead up to the “Sankofa” Banquet taking place on Saturday night, April 18th.  "Sankofa" means to look to the past, and thereafter learn from it in order to build the future. They chose this name for their event as it ties into their theme for the year: Power of Stories.  Check out the full schedule of events here.
