The recently passed US-Africa Summit was historic. Not only was it the first time that the majority of African leaders have together converged on the so-called ‘New World’, it provided an opportunity for Africans so forcibly remanded here to reflect anew on our relationship to home.

“We are all Africans, period.” The iconic phrase of the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party; a Pan-Africanist organization, founded and premised on the core assumption of African unity. African peoples throughout the world must as a matter of course come together and be together.
