Samantha Ratnam Members Statement in celebration of Africa Day
On Thursday the 25th May, the Victorian State Parliament hosted for the first time – a celebration of Africa Day led by the terrific group Africa Day Australia and its Advancing African Australian Agenda (AAAA), a sub-committee.
Africa Day is a very special day for the African community in Australia and across the world. It was on this day that leaders from the continent’s nations and liberation movements outlined the vision for an Africa post-colonisation, towards independence. It is a day celebrated with pride and purpose.
The African diaspora community in Victoria is growing, it’s diverse and unique.
The African Australian community have so much to be proud of – I thank all those who helped coordinated the wonderful celebrations last week and wish you a happy Africa Day!
