Testimonials

Many of our distinguished guests to the Pan-African Festival over the years have left Trinidad and Tobago awestruck. Here are just a few of their comments:

“My heart is bursting open with joy” is how Nzinga Heru, President of a prominent African-American organization of scholars, described her experience of Emancipation Day to a reporter a few years ago. She, and many other visitors to Trinidad and Tobago over the years, have described their participation in emancipation as “the experience of a lifetime”.

Maryam Katongo, coordinator of Indigo Women Links in Tanzania, an entrepreneur who has participated in the annual expo and business symposia for the past two years, in a detailed and very positive report to business associates, the Ministry of Tourism and other interest groups in Tanzania, described the festival as “unique”, the “most successful and respectable African festival in the world”.
