About
Our Roots
Our Elders and Social Media community knows that strength lies not only in the words we stand by, but most importantly through the actions of our united collective. Our founding leaders realized that by working together we could overcome challenges much more efficiently, and that is why we ultimately decided to join forces as the Maryland Council of Elders.

AFRICAN LIBERATION DAY
Africa Day (formerly African Freedom Day and African Liberation Day) is the annual commemoration of the foundation of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) (now known as the African Union) on 25 May 1963. It is celebrated in various countries on the African continent, as well as around the world.
Pan African Town Hall meeting
The Maryland Council of Elders (MCOE) and the Sixth Region DiasIpora Caucus (SRDC) will hold our Pan-African Town Hall thru out the year.
It will be held at the historic Arch Social Club, 2426 Pennsylvania ave. Admission is free; donations are not required but will be accepted.
As a means of crafting a response to this and similar measures by the political powers that be, we also hope to begin a conversation with each other on how we can build an organized and connected community that can not only respond to issues in a timely manner, but can also develop cooperative and proactive solutions to the difficulties we face as a community.
We hope to see you at our Town Hall Meetings!

Pan African Movement
Pan-Africanism is a worldwide intellectual movement that aims to encourage and strengthen bonds of solidarity between all people of African descent. Based on a common fate going back to the Atlantic slave trade, the movement extends beyond continental Africans, with a substantial support base among the African diaspora in the Caribbean, Latin America and the United States. It is based on the belief that unity is vital to economic, social, and political progress and aims to "unify and uplift" people of African descent. The ideology asserts that the fate of all African peoples and countries are intertwined. At its core Pan-Africanism is "a belief that African peoples, both on the continent and in the diaspora, share not merely a common history, but a common destiny".
The Organization of African Unity (now the African Union) was established in 1963 to safeguard the sovereignty and territorial integrity of its Member States and to promote global relations within the framework of the United Nations
