About the Event
Among the many ambitious goals coming out of the December 2022 US-Africa Leaders Summit was a focus on working with the African diaspora and young African leaders.
Just over a year after the summit, Michael Walsh, Melvin Foote, Wendy Wilson, and Krista Johnson, noted experts on Africa, join FPRI’s Africa Program Chair Charles Ray to discuss the status of this initiative.
