The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) got the highest vote, among other nominees, from voters responding to the Africa Diaspora Program during the US-Africa Summit on the LEGACY TRIBUTE. Truly the "People's Choice," CBC has been "The Conscience of the Congress," shining light on the needs of the disenfranchised, championing Africa's development in the United States Congress, and upholding common core values that transcend race and place.  Ghana's first President, Statesman, and the foremost exponent of African unity and Pan-Africanism, the late Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah would be honored for "The Conviction of Vision." The Pan-African movement inspired pre-independent leaders in Africa to collaboratively champion the cause of freedom and independence on the Continent and continues to inspire today's generation to promote African unity for a stronger, self-reliant, peaceful and prosperous Africa. Among many honors and conferences to study his ideas and influence on world stage, Dr. Nkrumah was voted Africa's Man of the Millennium by BBC listeners in Africa in 1999. The United Nations awarded him a posthumous gold medal during a Committee session in 1978. |

 "Africa is here. Africa is rising. Africa is happening, and no one will stop us because we have what it takes to make it work. By hosting the summit, Zuma said, the leaders had asserted their "shared descendency; our shared vision; our shared history; our shared experience, and our shared commitment to overcome the challenges faced by our people on the African continent. Whilst this project must inspire us, its outcomes are a clear demonstration that even though we are situated in different parts of the world, nothing must prevent us from working towards a common goal - that of creating a better life for the people of Africa and the diaspora."
President Jacob Zuma of South Africa. May 25, 2012

In 2012, in South Africa, the African Union adopted what is known as the African Union Diaspora Legacy Projects.
President Mohamed Ould Aziz of Mauritania, Current Chairman of the African Union
The Five Africa Union Diaspora Projects provide opportunities for the Africa Diaspora to be engaged and acknowledged as a vital sector in Africa's self-reliant growth.
On the occasion of the historic US-Africa Summit on August 5-6, 2014, the African Union, through its Citizen and Diaspora Organizations department, requested a program with the Diaspora alongside the US-Africa Summit. The mutual working relationship between the African governments and the Diaspora will facilitate the ability to identify, prioritize, and utilize available skills and resources from the Diaspora in building a prosperous and peaceful Africa. The Projects are:
 African Diaspora Skills Database Africa Diaspora Development Market for African Development African Institute for Remittances African Diaspora Investment Fund African Diaspora Volunteer Corps To get more details on each Project and to register for the African Union Diaspora Legacy Project Plenary Session and Workshop on August 4, 2014, from 8:30am to 3:30pm: GET DETAILS .
