45. 2013-2020 Kwanzaa Accord via Congress of African People (CAP)
Congress of African People (CAP), Los Angeles, welcomes the opportunity to engage with The AJ
Action Team (AJAX), in the promotion and implementation of these Kwanzaa Accords as they are
outlined in the document commemorating the 150th Anniversary, of the Emancipation Proclamation
extending the rights of liberty to African descendants impacted by the Holocaust of Enslavement.
Be it resolved, that we will work in concert with our Bermuda and Global Family to ensure the the
rights which were extended 150 years ago, are now, starting in 2003, given the opportunity of being
exercised and implementing in a more meaningful and substantive way. As African people, we affirm
our right of Self-Determination to shape a vision for our people to become free, proud and
productive.
Be it resolved, that the value basis for our unification are embodied in the Seven Principles (Nguzo
Saba) of Kwanzaa, Unity (Umoja), Self Determination (Kujichagulia), Collective Work and
Responsibility (Ujima), Cooperative Economics (Ujamaa), Nia (Purpose), Kuumba (Creativity), and Faith
(Imani). These principles have sacred significance to our people and struggle, in that they were
designed by our African Ancestors and passed down through the generations to guide our work and
contribution to human progress.
Be it resolved, that CAP applauds the efforts of AJAX for embarking on a path of Sustainable
Economic Development, Industry Building and Financial Independence which will serve as a model for
Economic Growth and Prosperity of our respective communities, the African continent and its
diaspora.
Be it further resolved, that CAP will work to assist in producing and promoting a program of Cultural
Restoration and Renaissance in the key areas of Fashion, Art, Music and Entertainment (F.A.M.E.),
based in the Los Angeles Leimert Park, (Pan African Village) Community and to coordinate our
activities and progress with our Bermuda, Diasporan and African Continental family.
And lastly, it is the hope and intent of all of these efforts, to create a New African Man and Woman,
conscious of their historical role, and who are prepared to step back on the Stage of Human
History, as free, proud and productive people.

46. The Kwanzaa Accord 2020
Sankofa Renaissance 2063
Sankofa: It is not wrong to go back for that which you have
forgotten. .Sankofa teaches us that we must go back to our roots in
order to move forward.
Similarly, the Washington, D.C. National Museum of African American
History and Culture celebrates Sankofa as a spiritual companion
guiding our epic journey inspiring cultural memory
The Sankofa Passage in Leimert Park links all Diasporans to African
traditions that reconnect the family, transcending language and location,
to commemorate the trials and survival of our Maafa (holocaust) through
the Middle Passage from the Cradle of Humankind in Africa.
Kwanzaa was developed 1966 – 1967 to “give Blacks an opportunity to
celebrate themselves and their history, rather than simply imitate the
practice of the dominant society. The first Africans brought to America
came from the area of the Kwanzaa River in Angola and the name derives
from the Swahili phrase matunda ya kwanza, meaning first fruits of the
harvest.
The Kwanzaa Accord elevates the survival culture of the plantations to a
transformational experience that celebrates our solidarity, creativity and
happiness to be together
The Kwanzaa Accord 2013-2020,is the inaugural 7 year campaign of
the a new social contract on the frontline of the global pursuit of
happiness. envisioning worldwide celebration of the Kwanzaa Principals 7
days a week, Sunday through Saturday, aligning with the African
Union’s Agenda 2063 among all peoples of African Descent, regardless
of citizenship, language or race.
AJ Ambassadors represent Unity in the Community World Vibe,
Fighting With Peace and Not For It based on the Bermuda Gombey
cultural mosaic of European, Indigenous Tribes and Africa, tracing its
heritage back to Ghana Africa and invite all the world to recognize and
celebrate our one ness.
The Black Caucus of California Community Colleges which is open to
membership from students at all students and alumni from institutions
throughout the state (including Charles Drew Medical University, the only
Historically Black University (HBCU) west of the Mississippi) adapted the
Kwanzaa Accord 2013-2020 and Ambassador AJ Gombey as mascot.
Five Points Youth Foundation provides the 501c3 framework to
empower all community stakeholders with entrepreneurial, educational
and vocational curriculum, training and resources locally, nationally and
globally through Global Partnerships for Development, in compliance
with the United Nations’ Global Compact to champion the Sankofa
