Why don’t you do anything to help Africa if you call yourselves ‘African’ Americans?
Many Africans forget that African Americans have been deeply tied to the struggle of Africans. Activists such as WEB Dubois, Martin Luther King, and Marcus Garvey were all instrumental to anti-colonial movements in Africa.
Today, many African Americans continue to give back and support initiatives on the continent, including prominent figures such as Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama, and Rihanna. Recent research found that African American donors give away higher percentages of their incomes than white donors, many tied to giving back to causes such as AIDs in Africa.
