New York students who are members of the African Students Association of New York’s Ithaca College have created a viral campaign titled ‘The Real Africa: Fight the Stereotype’ aimed at breaking the stereotypes about Africa and Africans.
“This campaign aims to educate and create awareness about our beautiful continent. We hope that you like these pictures and we also hope that you can help us share these photo’s, whether it is sharing it, making it your profile photo, tweeting it, or even liking it,” explains the students on their facebook page. “The simplest actions can create awareness and we are hoping to not only do that campus-wide but also world-wide.”
Check out images of the students with their message and please share.
