Mountain Movers Project 

“Restitution of African cultural heritage is not only about the return of an object but rather, it is about restoring pride, human dignity and a sense of pan-African community that can be celebrated globally and across generations. Mountain Movers project is a reflection of bridging that hope throughout the diaspora.”

“Culturally responsive community-based arts engagement disrupts exclusionary practices by immediately focusing on the community as a site of resistance, and subsequently, provides a rich setting for a return to the functionality of African art to redeem and restore.”

“The Black Child Journal looks forward to the partnership with the Mountain Movers project; and the variety of activities for increasing the participants‘ capacity to imagine and actualize what is necessary for creating a bright, limitless and culturally competent future through their African heritage and ARTS.”
