What is the African Awareness Association?
"Africans in Friendship with Cuba"
We are building a bridge of understanding and friendship with our neighbors. the African Awareness Association Inc. was created in the late 1980's in Richmond, VA as a political/cultural organization that seeks to politically educate, inform and document the history of African
people and their contributions to humanity. We are also a part of the International Pan-African movement to unite Africa and all Africans around the world.
Some of AAA, Inc., objectives are: Freedom to travel and to challenge the US blockade of Cuba
To help put an end to the embargo/blockade and travel restrictions
To serve as a fact finding mission where one can get firsthand knowledge of the present situation in Cuba
To have an open exchange (dialogue) with representatives from various institutions and
governing bodiesin Cuba
To get a better understanding of the operation of the socialist government of Cuba and how it impacts on Cuban citizens and the rest of the world (How it Works?)
To help foster a closer relationship between the African & underserved communities in the States and the Cuban people
