The Sankofa Scroll Journal is Afrocuden’s flagship publication, created to preserve, promote, and project the richness of African culture, heritage, and thought. Published annually, the journal serves as a voice for Africa, a space where scholars, cultural custodians, and thought leaders share insights on African traditions, values, and the unifying philosophy of Pan-Africanism.

What the Sankofa Symbol Represents

At the heart of the journal is the Sankofa bird, a powerful Adinkra symbol from Ghana that teaches us to “go back and fetch it.” It represents the wisdom of learning from the past to build a stronger, more united future. The Sankofa Scroll Journal embodies this philosophy, blending history, scholarship, and cultural wisdom to inspire both Africans and the global community.
