The African Day Parade in NYC: Celebrating the Diaspora

The annual African Day Parade in Harlem, New York was a dance and music feast, a celebration in true African style. From South Africa to Ghana, more than 30 African countries were represented by the hundreds who paraded down Malcolm X Boulevard in honor of their African cultural heritages.Founded six years ago, organizers say they wanted to “bring people from Africa, people of African descent, and all peoples of the world together in appreciation of African culture.”
