‘We Are Africa’ Road Tour
African Ancestry, the company that pioneered DNA – based ancestry tracing for people of African descent, is going mobile by taking ancestry tracing on a 14-city trek to help African Americans more easily and accurately access their ancestral roots. African Ancestry solicited the input from its online community of members and local networks of partners and alliances to find out where the Tour should go. Based on overwhelming feedback and excitement, it was clear that the ‘We Are Africa’ Road Tour would make its way to New York. Sunday, August 15. 2 p.m. – 6 p.m. 373 Lewis Avenue, House of Art.
