OUR SANKOFA JOURNEY TO KUJICHAGULIA ~ SELF-DETERMINATION

"The Black family is understood as the core institution of Black life"

WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM OUR ANCESTORS ABOUT SELF DETERMINATION AS A FAMILY?

"The Black family is the enduring atom that has, throughout time, been tested to its limits. Yet it finds a way to remain whole and grow stronger. It’s the seed from which we grow and learn things that ....we must know to survive. The Black family urges each Black person not to settle for survival, but to flourish. The Black family comes through in the work that we do and makes our contributions to the world full of a special type of soul, passion, grace and intelligence."
