Sankofa Table: What We Remember Shapes Who We Become, Princeton Public Library

Saturday June 13, 2026
1:00 PM - 3:30 PM

Princeton Public Library, in partnership with African Link Initiative, will present “Sankofa Table: What We Remember Shapes Who We Become” on Saturday, June 13, from 1 to 3:30 p.m. A light lunch will be provided. Rooted in the African principle of Sankofa, “to go back and retrieve what is valuable from the past,” the event invites students, elders, educators, artists, faith leaders, professionals, families and community members to explore how history, culture, traditions and lived experiences shape identity and community. Through guided table discussions facilitated by members of African Link Initiative and other presenters, participants will reflect on belonging, generational wisdom, cultural memory, leadership and the values future generations should carry forward.
