THEME: "Building a stronger and caring community through Gospel Music"
"I have worked to build a new relationship between America and Africa because our futures are indivisible. It matters to us whether you become an engine of growth and opportunity, or a place of unrelieved despair.
It matters whether we push back the forces of crime, corruption, and disease together, or leave them to divide and conquer us. It matters whether we reach out with Africans to build peace, or leave millions of
God's children to suffer alone." President Clinton to the Nigerian National Assembly, Abuja, Nigeria (August 26, 2000).
