The Africa Center is a turning point for the African communities within Hong Kong, and for those who wish to learn and integrate with the community not just within the city, but through out the African diaspora.

I value the “African Literature Book Club” as I value Women’s Day and Black History Month because African literature deserves a spotlight.
