Nana Yao Opare Dinizulu I is the beloved founder of the Akan culture in America. Few people parallel the contribution of Nana Yao in perpetuating African culture and heritage in the United States. He was an example of an African born in America who never relinquished his connection to Africa. The legacy he left behind assists us as Akans in America to hold steadfast and faithful to the traditions of our ancient fore-parents.

Nana's genuine love and admiration for his culture instilled and nurtured by his grandparents, gained him much recognition and respect from Africans born in America and abroad.

Nana never wavered from his mission of promoting African culture. As a result, Nana laid the foundation for thousands of people to be introduced to African culture.

Nana began his ascension to the land of Nsamando on February 10, 1991.

Next Sunday, join us in celebration of Nana Yao Opare Dinizulu I who left a legacy that continues to enrich and benefit us all. In addition to holding an Akom Kese we will speak of his history, his achievements, his impact and much more.

This is a celebration for all who knew Nana or want to know of him. This is a celebration for all who continue to create institutions that reflect our African history and heritage. This is a celebration for all the "lost sons and daughters" of Africa who found their way because of the dedication of Nana Yao Opare Dinizulu I in laying the path.
