Founded by Harry Belafonte, Sankofa.org educates, motivates, and activates artists and allies in service of grassroots movements and equitable change.

“As founder of Sankofa.org, I wanted to take a moment to update you. We have accomplished much; documentary films, community-based art installations, theatre plays, national campaigns that transform the ways Americans think about criminal justice, immigration, equality, equity, violence and so much more. It is time to pass the baton and I do so with confidence that my daughter Gina and her colleagues will carry on the mission of Sankofa.”
