Cultural Event
Pan-Afrikan Stepshow
Date of Event: April 03, 2009
And still the Pan-Afrikan legacy continues as a way of celebrating our ancestral roots through service, song, dance, fashion, worship and comedy. This year’s Pan-Afrikan Festival theme is “The Evolution of Black: Still We Rise.” The festival kicks off strong this Saturday, March 28 with ASU’s “Slap Back to Africa” and Service Raleigh, and lasts until Friday, April 3, the day of the most popular events: the NPHC stepshow and the comedy show.
It is important, however, not to forget the purpose and the meaning of this celebration. For information about pan-africanism, visit Road to Pan-Africanism, or view Pan-Africanism at wikipedia.org. As you are faced with the challenges (and triumphs) that accompany your rich heritage, remember the words of Maya Angelou: “still, like air, I rise.”
