Only 3 days to go until the Maafa Altar building and procession.
-
Why a Maafa? To honor the African Ancestors of the Middle Passage and those who survived. Maafa is a Kiswahili term meaning ‘great disaster or terrible occurrence.’ Descendants of stolen and enslaved Africans use the term Maafa instead of ‘transatlantic slave trade’ or ‘middle passage’ to accurately describe and honor our ancestors and histories.
-
Maafa is also used to name rituals of remembrance and reverence of our ancestors, the lives that continue to be compromised due to racism and oppression and to revere and celebrate our survival.
