Fannie Lou Hamer said, “Never forget where you came from, and always remember the bridge that brought you over.” In that spirit The Afrikan Connection has linked with local grassroots organizations like Common Cents Consulting, Each One Teach One and Guerrilla Republik. Local entrepreneur and community organizer Sista Nzinga said, "The idea is to show the youth that we give thanks for those who have come before us to set the right example, but we want to prepare them for the reality of their future."
The Afrikan Connection knows the community has to have wisdom, knowledge and unity to prepare for the future. Their contribution continues on May 15, 2010 at the Rose Hill Community Center, 19 Lambson Lane, New Castle, Delaware, 19720.
