ALL OF OUR SPONSORS
Dear Sponsor(s):
CONGRATULATIONS
As you may know that a
distinguished committee of
world renowned artists and
scholars chose our very own
Universal African Dance and Drum
Ensemble to represent the U.S.A.
at the historical
World Festival of Black Arts and
Cultures, a.k.a. as FESMAN

Dakar, Senegal, West Africa. This world
festival was held in December 2010. Over
80 nations sent their best scholars, historians,
artists and performers to this WORLD ARTS FESTIVAL. We
were proud and honored to be selected and performing among the best
performing arts groups in the world.
Your donations and believing
in us, made this historical representation possible.
An article written on December 3, 2010 by
The
Philadelphia Inquirer's Annette John-Hall
touch the hearts of our donors. A special and dear
friend who grew up in Camden, New Jersey, Minister
Dr. Tyrone Gilliams and his son who now lives in
Pennsylvania, read this article. Minister Gilliams
was touched by the article and he joined together with
his son Tyrone Gilliams Jr. to help us make this
historical representation possible. We thank the Gilliams
family as our major sponsor and all that donated, because
you made this historical event
happen, not just for Camden New Jersey, Philadelphia
Pennsylvania and
African American people all over America; you made this
possible because this was a representation for
people all over the world who understand this magnificent
accomplishment.
