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.

"The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country."
Lincoln's Second Annual Message to Congress, December 1, 1862.
