test
I went to Africa 25 years ago because I wanted to connect with the homeland of my ancestors. I still remember how I felt when the plane descended through the clouds allowing me to lay eyes on the soil of Africa for the first time. I will never forget that. My visit centered on Morocco in the northwest part of the continent. Had the pleasure of traveling throughout the country. I can not tell you how eye-opening and mind expanding that trip was. Having said that, I am thankful that my Grandfather made his way to these shores from his native Antigua, entering through Ellis Island. In so doing, he sought a better life for himself, his family and his descendants.
