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.
Lectures, field trips, teacher workshops, resource materials, lesson plans, energy links, and more - everything you need to gain a balanced understanding of today's critical energy issues.

"Difference of opinion leads to enquiry, and enquiry to truth; and that, I am sure, is the ultimate and sincere object of us both. We both value too much the freedom of opinion sanctioned by our Constitution, not to cherish its exercise even where in opposition to ourselves." Thomas Jefferson to P. H. Wendover, 1815. ME 14:283
