Our Organization

          The Mission of the African Diaspora Consortium (ADC) is to impact positively the  educational, economic, and artistic outcomes and opportunities of Black populations across the African Diaspora. ADC is unique in that it focuses its attention and develops partnerships in countries where African descendants were historically and culturally dispersed during the transatlantic slave trade and/or different migration periods (e.g., the Caribbean region, Europe, Latin America, and North America). By all accounts, there has been a striking lack of research and best practices devoted to dispersed African descendant populations. Yet, logically and intuitively, better understanding comparatively how dispersed populations navigated their locations in different and new worlds while developing art forms as modes of communication, interconnectedness, and education and economic uplift can hold great importance from an economy of scales perspective for countries globally. Increased understanding of both commonalities and differences in experiences as shaped by different immigrant origins and societal practices of their resident societies across nations can provide useful possibilities and outcomes.
