Why celebrate African Australians?
African Australians contribute so much to this great country. We
have iconic African Australians in sports, medicine, law and entertainment.
Several others are captains of industries, entrepreneurs and celebrities. In
addition, many serve the government and community in various capacities.
Therefore, the aim of Celebration of African Australians Inc
("Celebrate") is to celebrate, appreciate and showcase the
contributions of African Australians to our collective growth and prosperity.
This is a flow-on from the United Nation’s proclamation of 2011 as the International
Year for People of African Descent.
How we celebrate African Australians and friends of Africa Several African Australian legends, superstars and icons will be
honoured by Celebrate at the Parliament House, Canberra, this year.
In addition to honorariums, Celebrate
will also showcase on this website and its sub-domains:
- 1000
African Australian professionals (Doctors, Engineers, Nurses, Social
/Industry/Government Workers, Accountants, Academics, Managers, etc)
- 200
African Australian Icons, Legends and Superstars
- And
numerous Australian organizations, businesses and individuals supporting
