Why Teach About Africa?­
The continent of Africa is the root of civilization and its resilience is a model for the world. The 54 countries of Africa are rich in history, culture, and resources. Educating Americans, building global partnerships and promoting understanding and cooperation with African nations will fuel the positive changes underway throughout the continent and benefit the United States as well.
