“Art gives society a way to have difficult conversations.” - Carol Bebelle

Join us for a special Maafa edition of The Sankofa Circle!

Ashé co-founder and poet, Carol Bebelle is joined by Luther Gray, James Borders, Gason Ayisiyin, and Rev. Johnny Youngblood in a discussion about our collective past, present, and future, and the importance of the Maafa Commemoration.

Sankofa is an African word/symbol derived from the Akan tribe of Ghana. It symbolizes the quest for knowledge through patient, critical and intelligent investigation. It is from the wisdom of the past that we ensure a brighter future. The Sankofa Circle brings together artists, activists, scholars, culture bearers, and culture keepers to celebrate our collective glory.
