For Thirty-four years The Afrikan Poetry Theatre recognize that our experience has indeed had a very broad worldwide African community outreach, in the true spirit of Pan Africanism, and that we have continued that legacy that emerged from that era in the 1960's that saw an independence movement on the continent of Africa, and a resurgence of an African identity in the Americas.  We want to thank all of you in America, the Caribbean and in Africa for being a part of the African Poetry Theatre experience, and we look forward to many more years of "Serving Two Continents"
