We refuse to accept the status quo. African Futures Lab will:

African Futures Lab aims to build a future where the dignity and rights of Africans and People of African Descent are protected and respected. We envision a future where our contributions and sacrifices in shaping humanity are recognized and valued. We aspire to a future where our cultures and values are represented within the social, political, and economic institutions that govern us; a future where we receive dedicated human and political care from the global community.
This future may sound utopian today, but every action - big or small - and the unwavering solidarity of our community make it possible.
