“In a time in which occupation and oppression of countries and peoples are immorally presented as necessary and even salvational, the principle of Kujichagulia (Self-Determination) rejects this and reaffirms the right of persons and peoples to determine their own destiny and daily lives; to live in peace and security; and to flourish in freedom everywhere.”-Dr. Maulana Karenga
ACHA is excited to announce our collaboration with Woodgreen Community Services. “KUJICHAGULIA” will be the inspiring theme of our 2026-27 programming, kicking off with a vibrant community gathering called “UMOJA IN THE PARK.” This event is designed to be an intergenerational, family-friendly celebration that marks an important step in our ongoing journey towards building a shared vision for the future.
