]]>New Africa is a progressive movement that seeks to establish model neighborhoods by focusing on the dignity and prosperity that can be established through building valuable relationships within the community. New Africa encourages everyone to take pride in oneself, in where you live, and to make excellence the preferred goal. We are one community with diverse interests, experiences and challenges and every human person is important. If we are to help improve the community we must understand that we need each other. Truly, this is “Our Community…Our Responsibility”.
The name New Africa is synonymous with the names: New Hampshire, New York, and New England. When the founders of America came here from Europe, they brought with them remnants of the old country and named their new beginning with some remembrance of the past. New Hampshire from "Hampshire", New York from "York", New England from "England" and now... New Africa from "Africa" (Praise be to G-d).
New Africa is speaking to the African American specifically but not exclusively. New Africa embodies as the defining central concept: "A New Beginning, Our Community and Our Responsibility". New Africa promotes the excellence of the individual, the family and the community. So, everyone interested in being in the race for what is best for mankind can embrace the New Africa vision.
African Americans should remember their great African Heritage, the great civilizations and the contribution it has made to mankind. And, with that remembrance move forward with a greater future for New Africa development.
The New Africa Festival is a celebration of excellence in the individual, the family and the community, showcasing success in culture, education, business and includes recognition of outstanding community service. There will be lots of wholesome activities that the entire family can enjoy, such as: social service providers, healthcare information, free healthcare testing, a variety of unique merchandise and food vendors, games and entertainment.
