The three-day Ama Ndi-Igbo Family Reunion will be held July 27-29 at the Frontier Culture Museum in Staunton.
The public is invited to celebrate with this African family the arts, language and culture of over 5 million Igbo in the Americas and the value they have added to our mainstream Americas.
The Frontier Culture Museum constructed an authentic African Igbo village as one of its exhibits. It is at the actual Igbo village where some of the weekend activities will take place as well as the Museum’s Pavilion.
