The Exchange Ceremony brings together African, Afro-Caribbean, African-American, Afro-Latino and South American communities to highlight their common heritage and to recognize individuals and organizations working to make our communities better. This Event celebrates, respects, and recognizes the humanity and culture of Black people throughout the world. The event was birthed upon the 400 years of African American history in the United States as recognized by H.R. 1242 Commission Act in the “Year of Return” 2019. We believe that moment in time marked a very significant season in the history of humanity as it relates to the struggle of Black people. The event reminds us and facilitates renewal and commitment to strengthening the unity of the African Diaspora. The Exchange Ceremony is a three day ceremonial season of healing and unity. To fully embrace, educate, promote trade and understand the ethnicities, cultures and traditions among Black people around the world.
