Africa Culture Exhibit
Africa is a diverse continent of 54 nations. It is impossible to know the diverse story behind every country, but it is important to know that African nations can be very different from one another. To define a person, place, or entire continent, as only “African” would be to deny the diversity of each person living within the African Continent.
