Encouraging An
Appreciation for All People

 Our missionis to provide African culture and art experiences to the public to encourage an appreciation for the richness diversity brings to all.
When we experience other cultures, we gain an understanding for the culture's unique and special characteristics. We discover how it is different from our culture and how it is similar. Learning about other cultures helps us to value the diversity in all people and discover the unity there as well.
African Cultural Connection (ACC) is an organization of professional artists using traditional African dance, music and story to encourage students to learn more about the positive contributions African cultures have made to society.
