Why Teach About Africa?­
The continent of Africa is the root of civilization and its resilience is a model for the world. The 54 countries of Africa are rich in history, culture, and resources. Educating Americans, building global partnerships and promoting understanding and cooperation with African nations will fuel the positive changes underway throughout the continent and benefit the United States as well.

"World Affairs Councils have served our nation by educating our public and stimulating informed debate on the complex issues we face. With the Cold War ended and a new era upon us your role as citizens is even more important. As we seek to meet the challenges of this momentous period of change, I congratulate all of you for this important work."
