African Day is celebrated on May 25 all over the world.

This day is a celebration of Africa’s independence, freedom and liberation strife from the colonialists.

Between 1945 and 1965, a significant number of African countries gained independence from European colonial powers. Ghana was the first country to gain independence in 1957 and became an inspiration to other countries including the civil rights movement in America. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Travelled to Ghana to witness the taste of victory, and experience that would give him the push to continue agitating for racial justice in America

The unity of African people, and the socio economic freedom from foreign exploitation come to mind on African day. The victory over colonialists saw land returned to native Africans including coffee farms that today are owned by small scale farmers.

Africans pushed back against European dominion. Today, you can help Africans push back against coffee exploitation by buying it black!
