Accra, April 15, GNA- BridgeZone Global, a visionary organization committed to reconnecting the African continent with its global diaspora, has received a prestigious citation at the just-concluded Black History Festival 2025 held at the Georgia International Convention Center in Atlanta.

The honour recognised BridgeZone Global’s unwavering support and strategic partnership in advancing cultural, economic, and diplomatic ties among Africa, the Caribbean, and the broader diaspora.

Held on the theme: “Bridging Continents, Celebrating Legacies, and Promoting Trade,” the Black History Festival brought together a tapestry of voices from across the African world.

For days, the venue became a living village of African excellence, filled with art, music, discourse, and ideas.

From international dignitaries to grassroots changemakers, the festival was a vibrant reflection of Pan-African resilience and renaissance.

BridgeZone Global, under the leadership of its President, Prince Anthony Bart-Appiah, was recognised for the bold work in building sustainable pathways between Africa and its diaspora.

A news brief shared with the Ghana News Agency said through programmes that emphasised investment, tourism, education, and cultural diplomacy, the organisation had helped ignite a new era of global collaboration rooted in African identity and shared prosperity.

In his acceptance speech, Prince Anthony Bart-Appiah said, “this citation belongs to all of us, the visionaries, the believers, and the bridge-builders.”

He said BridgeZone Global was born out of the belief that Africa’s future was global, and the diaspora not just a memory of the past, but a key to their transformation.

“We are honoured to play our part in writing a new chapter of unity, innovation, and pride,” he added.

The 2025 edition of the Black History Festival featured prominent figures such as Ambassador Hilda Suka-Mafudze, African Union Permanent Representative to the U.S., Madam Abla Dzifa Gomashie, Minister of Tourism, Culture, and Creative Arts, Kofi Okyere Darko, Director of Diaspora Affairs, Office of the President, Krishna Camarena Surgeon, General Director of SENADAP, Panama’s national office for Afro-Panamanian development, renowned philanthropist Mattie McFadden-Lawson, and many more.

The brief said their presence was a testament to the power of collective vision and the importance of reconnecting African descendants across oceans and generations.

“The river may bend, but it never forgets its source, adding that through unity, remembrance, and strategic action, the global African community was coming home stronger, wiser, and more united than ever,” it said.
