Africa Memorial Day (AMD)
THEME: Political Leadership and Governance in Africa
Historical consciousness refers to an awareness and understanding of the
past, particularly the historical events, structures, and narratives that have shaped societies, cultures, and identities. It is a critical reflection on history and its implications for the present and future. When this consciousness is linked to human
justice, it drives a deeper recognition of injustices, inequalities, and struggles for freedom and equality that have occurred over time. This understanding helps shape the
pursuit of justice today.
Our Vision for the next 5 years
Africa Memorial Day aims to become a continent - wide celebration of African Heritage, uniting Africans through Education, Cultural showcases and remembrance. Over the next five years, AMD plans to engage over 10,000 people annually through expanded events, interactive educational programs, and partnerships across Africa and the diaspora. These collaborations will ensure that Africa Memorial Day becomes a recognized public holiday in multiple countries and a focal point for cultural diplomacy. Key initiatives include a scholarship fund, mentorship programs, and promoting cultural innovation.
The goal of the celebration is to recall and educate most Africans about the historical and cultural unity of Africa and thus bring alive in the mind of Africans the historical events (living and active memory) of our heroes and heroines, our African ancestors.
Introduction
Africa Memorial Day (AMD) is an annual observance led by the Correct Connect Africa Foundation (CCAF), together with Africans across the continent and in the diaspora, to commemorate and celebrate the memory of our ancestors. Its purpose is to honour the named and unnamed millions of Africans who were killed, assassinated, or martyred in the struggle to defend their ancestral lands, people, culture, identity, dignity, and freedom. It is a solemn remembrance of our heroes and heroines who fought for liberation and independence, as well as our enslaved forebears who, despite unimaginable coercion, never surrendered their fight for freedom. Through this event, we celebrate their legacy - awakening individual and collective consciousness, drawing lessons from our past, inspiring bold and selfless commitment to engage critically and creatively with our present, and building a future of dignity, respect, and pride for Africa and all her children.
