our mission

We walk in the footsteps of our ancestors. We treat one another with respect, recognizing the significant contributions that come from diversity of individuals and ideas. We create an environment of cooperation, openness, creative challenge and development. 

We believe in respecting African people, by listening to requests, understanding  concerns and providing the intellectual weaponry to define, defend, and develop ourselves.

We owe our institutional members the same type of respect that we show to our study groups. Our institutional members deserve fair and equitable treatment, clear agreements and an honest response to their effectiveness. We consider our members needs and requirements in conducting all aspects of our research and study.

We are personally accountable for high standards of behavior, honesty and fairness in all aspects of our work. We strive to fulfill our commitments as conscience Africans, dedicated and devoted workers. We are responsible and reliable, truthful and accurate, decisive and diligent in the effective use of ASCAC and study group resources. 

 We deliver excellence and continue to strive for perfection. We define distinction as intellectual freedom and quality as achieving the best for our people.

We lead through competence, creativity and collective consciousness. ASCAC’s leadership is founded on progressive scholarship, innovative ideas, and community activism. We are scholars, scientists, artists, students and determined workers. Our mission is to reclaim our history through Research, enlighten our people through Education, inspire our people through Science and Spiritual Development and raise our consciousness through Creative Productions. Our continued success requires developing people and rewarding their achievements therefore we recognize it is the responsibility of all of us to educate and develop ourselves as well as those whom we lead, touch and influence.
