Window of Africa

Welcome to Window Of Africa!!

African author, Keleti Sanon's new book "Another Chance, Maybe The Last - Relations Between African Americans and Africans" will be available Fall 2009.

Another Chance, Maybe the Last is an insightful book that shares some of the common beliefs and misconceptions among Africans and Africa-Americans. It not only tells of the history of Africa but gives insight into the journey from Africa to the U.S. and helps encourage our youth to share the truth about our connection.

Through the pages of this book, I introduce you to the importance of embracing your culture, your heritage in order to develop your true identity and to connect from which you came.

It is true that no man is an island. We do not exist just within ourselves. We are made up of those who came before us. The history of our existence is vital to understanding how we fit in the world and how we fit with one another. Another Chance, Maybe the Last illustrates Africa's history, the painful journey of slavery, the ramifications of slavery, and how parts of our history has disconnected us - from ourselves, from our people, and from our country.

To fully embrace who we are as a people, we need to KNOW one another as a people, and that's a main purpose behind the creation of this book. It is important for my African American cousins to know about the culture of Africa - how we value family, relationship, children, education, finances, and more.

My new book is about the importance of staying true to your heritage and remembering the history of Africans and African-Americans. You can read more about his book here.

Family, friends and acquaintances have a reason for connecting with one another during the period of one's life.

Some last for a lifetime while others last only for a season, leaving their mark upon your life and then they move on. But the person's life that they touch, never forgets the impact that the other had upon their life.

There is an old Mandingo proverb that says:

"It doesn't matter how long a piece of wood has been in the river,
it will never turn into a fish."

This simply means, that it doesn't matter how long the African-American has been here in the United States, they are still of Africa, we are one with one another. We can not change our history or our heritage.
