AFRICAN HOLOCAUST | History of Africa restored

Our mission is to produce accessible bodies of work, which will teach people about African culture and history, within an African-cultured framework. This work will also serve as a multicultural dialogue to share the African cultural/historical experience with the wider World community. We also embody the seven core principles of the African Code. Our study of Africa is not a romantic enterprise, but moreover intended to enrich the human experience through fostering plurality. We believe It is by having an honest dialogue that the scourge of ignorance and hate can be arrested. And from a platform of self-determination African people globally can continue to contribute their unique cultural experience to the forward flow of humanity
