Hillsborough N.A.A.C.P. President and 1st V.P. (Yvette Lewis and Daryl Hych) visits the forum and announced the ACT-SO Program. ACT-SO stands for Afro Academic Cultural Technological Scientific Olympics, “Olympics of the Mind”. There was continued discussion of black history studies, erasure and de-funding of local Black history including cemeteries, museums and neighborhoods.

Today marked the meeting in Paris, France in 1919 of the 1st Pan-African Congress. In 1897, Henry Sylvester-Williams, a West Indian Barrister, formed the African Association in London, England to encourage Pan-African unity.
