FEBRUARY IS AFRICAN HISTORY MONTH

Feb 18, 2018 News

On December 17, 2017 ACDA began its 25th year of its work of “ seeking an all-round improvement of the African presence both in quality and in all aspects of life and in this way to influence for the better the quality of life in Guyana.”
As a result of our anniversary ACDA’s Theme for 2018 is “Celebrating 25 years o f Activism, Community Development and Servant Leadership.”
Black History Month was started by a Harvard trained historian, Dr. Carter G. Woodson in 1925. He observed that in all the educational institutions he had attended no mention was made of African Peoples contribution to world history.
Dr. Woodson believed that unless something was done to rescue African people for history’s oversight Black people would become a “negligible factor in the thought of the world.  ACDA joins with Dr. Carter G. Woodson when he stated that there is no such thing as African History what is called African History is really “the missing pages of world history”.
ACDA invites the wider society to its African History Month Programmes at the AKWAABA (Welcome) Centre. Some of the programmes planned are  The UJAMAA Challenge where young entrepreneurs pitch their business ideas to a panel of successful business persons. Monetary prizes will be awarded.   Preparation of CV workshops and CV writing training in schools for school leavers;  Movie at the Princess Cinemas for participants in the Aviation Programme;  Final presentation of “Know Thyself Projects”;  Prize giving  ceremony of the Awareness with Action and Knowledge for Employment (AWARE) Project; African Historical Exhibition; Lectures; Film Shows & presentations.
The exhibition is open to the general public on Monday-Friday from 10am-4pm daily and Saturdays from 10am-2pm.
