Africa Day
📅 May 25: Africa Day 🌍✊🏾
A powerful celebration of Africa’s unity, resilience, and boundless potential.
🎯 Origin & Purpose:
Africa Day commemorates the founding of the Organization of African Unity (now the African Union) on May 25, 1963. It honors the liberation of African nations from colonial rule and symbolizes a shared commitment to justice, development, and sovereignty across the continent.
🧭 2025 Theme:
“Justice for Africans and People of African Descent Through Reparations” reminds us that justice isn’t a final destination, it’s a living pursuit for truth, dignity, and equity that must be upheld every day. 🌱
📊 Did You Know?
🔹 Africa is the youngest continent in the world,60% of its population is under 25.
🔹 Africa Day is celebrated across the diaspora to honor heritage, pride, and a collective future.
🖤 Why It Matters to the Global Black Community:
Africa is more than a place, it’s a pulse, a people, a foundation. Its spirit lives in diasporic communities through legacy, resistance, and brilliance. Africa Day reminds us to reconnect, reinvest, and support the organizations driving change from the ground up.
