wow! I would love to see this!
I can’t wait to see the full documentary and show it to some students as well. Thanks for sharing.
Very thought-provoking–I look forward to seeing the complete film!!
Interesting. I believe that some African Americans take exception to “foreign Blacks” calling themselves African American, since we are not descendents of the enslaved Africans brought to America in the 1700-1800s.
But if President Obama can call himself African American, then I can too (even though my nationality is Jamaican).
looks great

Interesting. I’d love to see the entire documentary. I have worked extensively with diverse populations including African immigrants and refugees in the areas of mental health and career counseling. I am African-American, meaning I was born here and I am married to a first generation African Immigrant from Mali. My interest in the diverse cultures, especially the African Diaspora, is fueled by information like your documentary. I am currently writing a paper on employment trends and the impact of cultural values on work ethics. It’s fantastic that you are pulling this all together, providing a historical and current view of Africans as well as statistics. Africans are most often left out of mainstream research on most subjects and issues. Thanks
@ Shonda. Thanks for your comment. The DVD will be available in February. I’ll notify you. Be sure to join the Facebook Group: The Neo-African-Americans
