BLACK HISTORY MONTH

Bogota - Colombia, The INSTITUTE OF AFRODIASPORIC STUDIES (IAS) commends its #AFRICANAMERICAN #BROTHERS & #SISTERS (in the #US and #CANADA) as they celebrate the #BLACKHISTORYMONTH May our common #HISTORY of struggle as children of the #AFRICANDIASPORA continue to strengthen us to achieve the #RECOGNITION #JUSTICE and #DEVELOPMENT that has too long been denied to the #PEOPLE OF #AFRICANDESCENT

We appreciate in the recent official recognition of the UN's INTERNATIONAL DECADE FOR PEOPLE OF AFRICAN DESCENT 2015-2024, by the government of CANADA, a wonderful and historic opportunity to push for further actions, by the international community, regarding the vindication of more than 250 million people who compose the African diaspora.
