What is Sankofa?

Sankofa is a symbol of the Akan people from Ghana and Ivory Coast in West Africa. The word Sankofa symbolizes the recuperation and valorization of African culture. Sankofa means, "it is never to late to go back and get that which you left behind." In other words, return to your roots and build on them and in doing so move forward and prosper.
