African Renaissance Monument

| This is who we are! |
Located in Senegal, The Monument is made of 3-centimetre thick metal sheets and depicts a family group emerging from a mountaintop: full-length statue of a young woman, man and held aloft on the man's raise left arm, a child resolutely pointing west towards the sea.
This is the largest monument in the world outside Asia and the Soviet Union.

| This is who we should be! |
It is said that the child is pointing to African Americans "out west", wanting us to come back and reunite with our brothers and sisters of the home land. Africans are the only people who are not united and African Americans, the wealthiest Africans in the world, could help extend our hands at least half way to connect with bridge the gap between black people. We have culture, but just don't take the steps to find out those missing puzzle pieces of who and what black people about to be and tap into.
