Foundation’s Annual Commemoration Ceremony

Join us for the annual commemorative celebration at the Annapolis City Dock on September 29, 2020. This celebration, sponsored by the Kunta Kinte-Alex Haley Foundation, Inc., includes a family member of Alex Haley, along with other partners. This celebration acknowledges the arrival of Kunta Kinte to these shores as the beginning of his experiences in America.

The commemorative celebration serves as a reminder of the contributions made by Kunta Kinte and other unnamed people in bondage and people who strove to make America great. It also serves as a reminder of the unity of family as well as the commonality and humanity of all people.

The short program will include a brief overview of the Foundation and the event, with greetings, music, and motivational words of remembrance and inspiration by Chris Haley, the nephew of the Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Alex Haley.

To conclude, Foundation members, friends, and visitors to the Memorial will be asked to actively participate in honoring the many who came before by scattering rose petals in the harbor.

For information on previous commemorations, see the sections of this website showing the photo gallery and past news articles.

The Kunta Kinte-Alex Haley Memorial

Located in historic Annapolis, Maryland, the Kunta Kinte-Alex Haley Memorial symbolizes the triumph of the human spirit. It conveys Alex Haley’s vision for national racial reconciliation and healing, and stresses the importance of strong family connection and the preservation and honoring of cultural history and heritage.

Dedicated to our African ancestors whose names are forever lost in the oceans of time, and to any peoples that arrived in the New World in bondage, whose unpaid labor forged the foundation of this nation’s rise to greatness. Also, to the descendants of these ancestors who strive to foster a nation that celebrates ethnic diversity within the spirit of brotherhood, mutual respect, and understanding.

Kunta Kinte-Alex Haley Foundation

The Kunta Kinte-Alex Haley Foundation, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Maryland in 1995, as a tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) nonprofit profit organization.

Our mission is to spread the vision of Alex Haley, a world that celebrates ethnic diversity while honoring humankind’s common universal experiences.

The Foundation is dedicated to stimulating greater interest in African American culture, history, art, archaeology, anthropology, and genealogy, and to encouraging people of all ethnic backgrounds to search for their own “roots.”
