Seeking true
acculturation and justice for Africans and Afro-Caribbeans
in the United States
is a difficult task and AJAPO needs your help! While we work to raise
awareness about issues, needs, and assets in these groups’ Pittsburgh communities, you can help by carrying
these messages into your home, school, and business. As the immigration
debate plays out in Washington,
you can help dispel myths and stereotypes about immigrants and refugees
yourself. Use the following tools and suggestions to create change
locally.
