African Culture Night

I shot this photograph while on assignment for CM Life during African Culture Night.  It was a really fun event composed of an array of festivites actually.  They had a fashion show, dramatic readings, speakers, and stage preformances by dancers and musicians.  I learned a lot about the African culture after I left Plachta that night, the most memorable being the opening line to the event,

"We are all African."

Ibrahim Aminou opened African Culture Night on Friday by beating his hand drum with fellow members of the Yorba Youth Corporation in Plachta Auditorium.
