The program presented a “fusion” of African facts about the continent and some of its countries, an informal fashion show with designs from Vivid Emporium (Sierra Leone, Nigeria, and Cape Verde), an African dinner based on a traditional east African meal from Kenya, including a variety of African music. Additionally, exhibits were displayed to include an African drum, wooden masks and statues, jewelry, cloth, basket, a flag from Uganda, and a framed cloth painting. Centerpieces, with representations of African country flags were raffled to residents.
