The primary goal of the African American Cultural Alliance is to enhance awareness of the cultural and historical background of people of African descent while providing various outlets in which the community can take part in learning more about the culture. The African Cultural Alliance embraces the definition of culture as all material and immaterial things that a people manifests in order to survive, adapt, control and flourish in their environment.
