The
Black To Our Roots Educational Tour is a spiritual, cultural,
and academic experience where youth of African descent learn about
themselves. 15 students have been selected to participate in the
Black To Our Roots program, where they spend several months learning
about Africa in general, and Ghana specifically, through workshops,
fieldtrips, fundraisers, and community service projects.
Black To Our Roots assist youth in recognizing
and reclaiming their African identity through extensive research
on African history and culture that they will be able to apply
directly while on location in Ghana, West Africa.
Black To Our Roots culminates with graduates
spending several weeks exploring the beauty of Ghana, to gain
first hand experience about its culture, history and rituals.
