Over the years the Festival has grown and it continues to be a historical occasion for African Americans and people from all walks of life to come together. The original Kunta Kinte celebration was born in Annapolis, America’s first national capital, in September 1987. "The festival highlights the contributions that African Americans have made to our society," said Ruby Singleton Blakeney, Kunta Kinte Heritage Festival Chairperson. "Over the years we have had thousands of diverse patrons from around the world attend and enjoy the event, which is geared to all age groups. There has been an outpouring of support from political leaders, the business community and individuals," said Ms. Blakeney.
