USA Africa Dialogue Series - Thanks From Councilman Haba to Prince George's County: AfricanHeritageMonth!

All  three greats in the DMV: MoCo O..yeah! Then DC and Gorgeous Prince George's came roaring. Are we ready for congressional sponsorship and to the White House proclamation of the National African Heritage Month??? What says you Newark? Spread the word from East to West, from the Appalachians to all the Mountains....let that freedom ring.....that one day, Continental Africans would constitute a reckoning American population....in all jurisdictions.

 

After the Councilman's message, please also see some of the pictures below from personal cameras, some without flash (lol) AND READ THE PROCLAMATION. Enlarge your screen.  The official pictures and videos are yet to be produced.

 

A shout out to the unbeatable Dr.  Samuel Dongmo, the Emcee who would be a star performer on Oct 11; the Menoua Group, the official keeper of the tradition in 2013; and the incomparable 12 year old Andrea for delivering a powerful acceptance message, upholding the banner for Born in the USA and subsequent generations of Continental Africans.

 

  Appreciations to the Humble and Gracious Music Legend  Ben  Decca who got lost and went to the wrong address and somewhere in Silver Spring, Md; the Ghanaian delegation with PR Rowina; Hararian Alumni group; and others who went to the Ballroom address. The cell phone could not be charged with an incompatible car charger and we just could not get the calls and text messages. 

 

Friday Oct. 11 promises to be an event rich in significance and substance. All anyone can do is give in an honest best, nothing is too small with a clean hand and mind. Keep the Kenyan victims in prayers and thanks to those who extended condolences to a volunteer whose mom/aunt died. This program was rescheduled within 48 hours and is a testament to the faith of collaboration. Don't mind the sans decor.....that on Oct 11 with a band!

 

May God Bless You all

MsJoe

Subj: Thank you & Follow up

 

Mr. Hudson,

 

I would like to seize the opportunity to extend my thank you, on behalf of the Continental African community in Prince George's County, through you to the County Executive, Mr. Baker. It was a great pleasure for us to receive the Proclamation issued by Mr. Baker's office in recognition of the contributions of African immigrants and establishing the month of September as the African Heritage Month.

 

As I pointed out, during the meeting, Prince George's County has the highest number of African immigrants in the Washington region. This amount to one quarter of the total. Further, our region is also the second, countrywide, with the highest number of African immigrants, after New York area. This put the county in position to be a model and leader in integrating this community and setting the path for other jurisdictions. I have no doubt that this can be done and I will be happy to assist, whatever way, I can to make this a reality.

 

.

 

Again, thank you for your attention and collaboration.

 

Sincerely, 
 

Edouard Haba

Council Member - Ward 4
