2010 Convention in Washington DC will be the best one yet. As we enter a year long celebration of our 35th Anniversary, no better place to start the celebration than the epic center of our Nation. From its historical museums, beautiful scenery, and fabulous nightlife, Washington DC provides countless learning opportunities to our country's development and exposure to its cultural infusion.

The convention will gather hundreds of brothers that will be held from Thursday, June 24th through Sunday, June 27th. There are plenty of activities being scheduled and we encourage everyone to arrive early or remain a few days later to explore the city's richness.

The 2010 National Convention will be memorable one not to miss.

See you in Washington D.C.

There are many Washington DC attractions you can take advantage of while attending the 2010 National Convention, however one recommendation would be to visit the exhibit: The African Presence in Mexico: From Yanga to the Present.

The exhibition brings focus to the overlooked history of African contributions to Mexican culture from 1519 to the present day. It tells the little-known story of Afro-descendants in Mexico during the past 500 years, including the story of Yanga, an enslaved African who escaped to found the first free town in the Americas, near Veracruz, Mexico, in 1610. Highlights of the exhibition include "casta" paintings (paintings used to delineate racial categories and the ever-increasing complexity of racial mixture); discussions of African slavery in Mexico and the hero/slave rebel Yanga; and artifacts related to the traditions and popular culture of the Afro-Mexicans.
