African Heritage encompasses the rich cultural, historical, and social traditions of the African continent. It includes diverse languages, music, art, and customs that vary widely among the over 3,000 ethnic groups. Key elements include traditional practices, storytelling, and the significance of community and family. The heritage also reflects the impact of historical events, such as the Transatlantic Slave Trade and colonialism, which shaped the identities of many African nations. Important figures like Nelson Mandela and movements such as Pan-Africanism highlight the ongoing struggle for unity and cultural pride across the continent.
