The African American Cultural Alliance seeks to enhance the awareness of cultural and historical backgrounds and contributions to this world by people of African descent.

Arts & Culture

The African Street Festival is the largest and longest-running ethnic, family-oriented celebration on a historically Black U.S. college campus. It has grown from a 1-day, 4-hour street fair for 1500, to a 4-day multi-cultural showcase of music, dance, visual, theater and literary arts, crafts, and other cultural features for over 40,000. We project that by 2012, with our anticipated expansion of events, to acommodate approximately 100,000 over 5 days. Goals for the next 3 years include: (1) design and build a "walk-thru" Learning Lab of Africa & the Diaspora, available for students, community groups, and others, which is part of an exhibit pavilion featuring "Living History and Lessons" provided by community members of the various nations; (2) secure travel funds needed to better establish and secure relationships with various representing ogranizations of Africa and the Diaspora; (3) host 2-3 music or dance artists/groups from areas within the African Diaspora.
