Under the anniversary theme, “Unlocking Africa’s Greatest Asset for 60 Years”, The Africa-America Institute’s 60th Anniversary Awards Gala was an uplifting, festive evening to celebrate AAI and African achievement on Wednesday, September 25 at the Hilton New York in New York City.

The black-tie affair has become one of the largest and most anticipated Africa-focused events in New York City.
