The Exchange Ceremony is an event that will bring together the African, Afro-Caribbean, African American, and Afro-Latino communities to highlight their common heritage and to recognize individuals and organizations working to make our communities better. In addition, this event will reflect upon the 400 years of African American history in the United States, the “Year of Return” as recognized by H.R. 1242 Commission Act, and renew our commitment to strengthening the unity and healing of the African Diaspora in Chicago. The Exchange Ceremony will be a night of healing and unity as it is designed to fully embrace, educate, and understand the ethnicities, cultures, and traditions within The African, Caribbean, African American, Latino, and Central American communities. A platform of African Royalty and the celebration of humanity through culture.
