Keynote Speaker: Professor George Sefa Dei

ReStorying our Black Lives, Music, and Culture:   ReStorying the colonial narrative is a de/anti-colonial imperative….a necessary exercise in our own decolonization. To be African and Black is to be a resistor. Any failure to do so is a betrayal of our Ancestors.
