@afropolitancities: A powerful moment for Africa and the Diaspora. 🌍 On August 25, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene, delivered a historic lecture at Howard University in Washington, D.C., bringing together traditional leadership and academia for an important conversation on scholarship, leadership, culture, and the advancement of people of African descent. Beyond the lecture, the occasion was also a vibrant celebration of the richness, beauty and traditions of Asante culture — a powerful display of African heritage on one of America’s most historic Black university campuses. Convened by the Millennium Excellence Foundation, the gathering reflected the importance of building stronger bridges between Africa and its global Diaspora through knowledge, culture, leadership and shared purpose. Afropolitan Cities was honored to be present and capture moments from this historic occasion. #AfropolitanCities #O tumfuo #Asantehene #HowardUniversity #Ghana
