Join us for a powerful and necessary community conversation hosted by International Child Advancement (ICA). This in-person gathering is designed to deepen understanding, foster healing, and strengthen relationships between African and African American communities. We’ll reflect on the historical forces that have shaped our collective journey — from the transatlantic slave trade and colonialism to the divisions they created — and explore how we can reconnect, rebuild, and rise together. Through a dynamic panel discussion featuring thought leaders, advocates, and community voices, we’ll examine the barriers that continue to separate us and envision new ways to collaborate across the diaspora for long-term, sustainable impact in our local and international communities. Why Attend? To engage in open, honest dialogueTo connect across cultures and lived experiencesTo understand our shared history and its present-day implicationsTo co-create pathways for collective empowerment and future collaborationThis is more than a conversation — it’s a movement toward unity, resilience, and lasting change. Please RSVP here.

Come enjoy a tour of the ground where the Pan-American Exposition took place over 100 years ago.  Buffalo, which in 1901 was the 8th largest city in the United States, hosted over 8 million people from around the world.  Learn about the exhibits, the shows, the sounds and smells that could be experienced while visiting the fair.  Start at the Buffalo History Museum, which is the only structure from the exposition that is still standing, and walk along streets of Buffalo where stadiums, buildings, fountains, and waterways once gave visitors strange, exotic and dramatic entertainment.
