Peekskill UGRR Heritage Festivals

UGRR Conferences

Bringing educators and professionals from all walks of life to bring up the conversation of the importance of the UGRR. Through forums, round table discussions and talks we discuss the importance of the UGRR in today's society. We believe that the conference is a type of sankofa which is defined as "the understanding your past so that you may understand your future".
When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.
