The Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center came alive with music, dance and ceremony on May 25 in celebration of the 54th anniversary of Africa Day. Over 600 guests, representing 55 countries of the African Union and the African diaspora, came out for a festive reception at the atrium that culminated a day of activities focusing on the African Union’s commitment to investing in its most important natural resource, its youth. “Africa is on the move and we are thrilled for the first time in our history to be hosting the Africa Day celebrations,” said the Ronald Reagan Building’s Andrew Gelfuso.
