Hope
This past year, we celebrated the 34th Annual African American Heritage Festival under the word "Msisimko", which is the swahili word for Passion. Our theme was Passion never fades. Ambition never ends. This year's festival will be centered around the word "Tumaini", which is the Swahili word for Hope! It will incorporate the elements of Hope for the Future: Believe. Desire. Trust. For Hope is the essence of what we believe in, our desire to improve from the past and the trust that we have in knowing that things will work accordingly through faith. We invite all of the Ohio State University and community memebers to join us for our annual celebration. Please view the schedule tab for event details.
