...and we so appreciate the time and the consideration you're all presently providing to the AAHA of Fairfield County, Connecticut as we continue to ply our resources and abilities to the plight, struggle, historical zeitgeist and political triumphs of all people of African descent in the Americas.
We are also in the midst of creating a first-of-its-kind African Historical Museum and Cultural Center in Fairfield County, Connecticut. However, as we are a non-profit organization, we have been feeling a bit of the pinch of these challenging financial times which we all find ourselves contending with and valiantly battling.
However, as we continue stalwartly (and, quite frankly, successfully) to erect and realize a final home for our elaborate, extensive and expansive in size collection of authentic African artifacts, sculpture and artwork from all around the African Diaspora, we would invite you all to contact us either in the comment section below, or via our e-mail address at info@aahact.org.
In addition, we should add our apologies for the admittedly sparse amount of content on our new website/blog. Even as we have been producing and publishing our own conventional newsletter (which is now recieved by a statewide readership of well over 1000 subscribers), as well as commemorating and honoring the contributions of men and women of color in Fairfield County with such annual events as the Carter G. Woodson Commemorative Banquet and Awards Ceremony (which will be held this year, incidentally, at the spacious Grand Banquet hall at the Bridgeport Holiday Inn in Downtown Bridgeport, Connecticut this coming February 26th, 2011 between 1-4 p.m.) as well as a Day of Remembrance which we hold every year at Seaside Park in Bridgeport (in observance of the beginning of the African slave trade in Colonial America, and our ancestors who proved so resilient, inventive and industrious in braving it all)...we must say that we have been working hard to ensure that the type of content, news and information, afrocentric, people-centric, intellectually engaged and culturally nuanced musings which we plan to provide here on our site will be of the most impressive and intuitive quality imaginable.
Hence, please bear with us and stay tuned to this site, as we prepare to unveil fully formed documentary footage on the stuggles of our African-American forbears (directly from their mouths, hearts and hopes) as well as a full archive of our expansive, quarterly-published newsletter (accompanied, we must add, with new and exclusive stories and on-line news reporting unavailable on our newsletter).
In addition, we will be providing all of our visitors with exclusive news, photos and video of all events related to African American News and culture in Connecticut and around the world. This news will include additional information on the upcoming African Museum and Cultural Center which we are well on our way to creating in Bridgeport, CT (which will be, we assure you, an establishment with a collection of materials from throughout Africa which will be singular to the American Northeast).
At any rate, please feel free to leave comments below, contact us via our e-mail at info@aahact.org, as well as on any one of our sister sites in the AAHA of Fairfield County's family of web-sites listed below:
