Organized the first and only Continental Africans Pride
Day Parade in the Bronx.
It was
a success as Continental Africans from North, East,
Central and West participated. Some other people from
other ethnic and gender groups marched with us.
We
Have co-sponsored the African Cultural Week in Harlem.
This annual event was conceived and organized by Elhadji
Ndiaye who is our current Treasurer.
In
December 2003 in conjunction with NYPD, the United
African Congress, Inc. had a successful Toy Drive
for all children of Continental Africans in New York
City. Each child that attended the event returned home
with a toy donated by the NYPD.
We
were instrumental in designing the first and most
comprehensive Cultural Awareness curriculum ever
developed for all Police Officers in New York City.
On
September 19, 2002, we officially launched the Citizens
Commission on the African Union. The organization
was created to work with the newly formed African Union
(53 countries and 800 million people) to advance its
mission activities and programs throughout the United
States.
