You are right on target!
We speak much of self determination while continuing to limit ourselves to the determination of others in defining who we are and perhaps most importantly from whence we come.

These new boards are intiated in part to help us not only accept the broadview definition of DIASPORA but to learn and teach that tto find the African Roots we must seek everywhere!
