CULTURE

Celebrating our ethnic diversity

MISSION

African culture has made the greatest contribution to our development process as a people. Our rich and diverse traditions have always been passed on from one generation to the next by way of word-of-mouth, a process often known as ‘Oral Tradition.’ In the age of globalization however, we have found more vigilant ways of preserving our way of life.

HEALTH

As rich as African soil is, we import food that leads to the genocidal destruction of our future. African tradition has always been accompanied by the promotion of social welfare and health among the population. Proudly Afrikan promotes a culture of eating to live through health education.

HISTORY

While many elementary and middle school educators teach their students about Africa, finding age-appropriate primary sources and related activities is often a challenge, particularly when looking at early African cultures. Others frame Africa as a monolithic culture frozen in time, ignoring the reality of this diverse and rapidly modernising continent. Our educational resources teach our history and our value.

  • Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
    Nelson Mandela
  • I'm going to be me as I am, and you can beat me or jail me or even kill me, but I'm not going to be what you want me to be.
    Steve Biko
  • I believe that here in South Africa, with all our diversities of colour and race; we will show the world a new pattern for democracy. There is a challenge for us to set a new example for all. Let us not side step this task.
    Albert Luthuli
  • Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.
    Emperor Haile Selassie
  • God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement.
    Marcus Garvey
  • The size of your dreams must always exceed your current capacity to achieve them. If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.
    Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
  • The conqueror writes history, they came, they conquered and they write. You don't expect the people who came to invade us to tell the truth about us.
    Miriam Makeba
  • In the course of history, there comes a time when humanity is called to shift to a new level of consciousness, to reach a higher moral ground. A time when we have to shed our fear and give hope to each other. That time is now.
    Wangari Maathai
