Good question. I am extremely proud of my African ancestry.
My contribution would be to continue to educate myself and others about the diversity of cultures within Africa. The continent is not monolithic. As Americans of African descent I think we are so quick to say "we know what's best" when we are ignorant of the issues that each individual country faces.
I would also encourage people to travel throughout Africa. I spent 3 months on the continent and it was the best time of my life and I hope to be able to go back.
GO SEE HOTEL RWANDA!!!
