The press may not be successful much of the time in telling people what to think, but it is stunningly successful in telling its readers what to think about.
Bernard C. Cohen, 1963

Africa Agenda events offer a unique opportunity to interact with African opinion leaders and communities in Colorado, and around the world and to discover the opportunities Africa has to offer. We seek to move beyond the normalized misinformation on Africa to open up new avenues to engage, build bridges, and deepen ties between the US and Africa.

Since March 2005, Africa Agenda has organized dozens of events in the Denver Metro area.

We have a proven approach to fostering civic responsibility and community involvement by improving the understanding of the African community globally, their challenges, interests, and talents.  By working with universities, community organizations, and journalists, we have shown that African networks are not just on the margins but bring important social and economic opportunities.
