The African fabric and ornaments with African origin should be a form of trade mark and some sort of identification for every black American who truly accepts their African descent. Black Americans who believe in the Pan-African mindset do agree that they have a role to play in making Africa great, and the one of the ways to do this is to invest in home made goods, buy African products.

This feeling of disconnection is the main war […] Read More
