Our Culture
Our mission, vision, and strategies are rooted in our Asili: our germinating idea or guiding light.
Our Asili asserts that the African American community has within its boundaries the capacity to define and develop strategies that will effectively and efficiently improve existing conditions, and that external forces must respect and be guided by that capacity.
Our Asili sets forth seven principles that ground our work:
