The William Tucker 1624 Society is honored to have Filipe Silvino de Pina Zau, Angola’s Minister of Culture as the keynote speaker for this event and the attendance of a large delegation of Angolans to accompany the Minister. The theme this year is “We Are Better Together.” This year’s program demonstrates bridging the gaps of 405 years of history between the continents. Ric Murphy, author of “Arrival of the First Africans,” will be the master of ceremony. In addition, this year there will be an art exhibit presentation from Angola by the Embassy of the Republic of Angola to the United States.
