Why CIP Matters

 

The Cultural Imperative Program is essential in every Black community because it fosters cultural awareness and critical thinking skills through accurate interpretations of African history and culture. By empowering students to embrace their African heritage and overcome negative stereotypes, the program helps shape confident, informed young leaders who can positively impact their communities.
