Dear Chief Tunde,

What a successful conference! The presentations were world-class and, as intended, the conference provided the occasion to learn about African business opportunities and investment climate for Americans, especially African Americans. Gaps were bridged, business interests were discussed, and connections were made. Our Center for African and African Diaspora Studies was ably and superbly represented. Scholars, business people, political leaders, bureaucrats, university presidents and professors, religious leaders, ambassadors and consuls–all had the occasion to participate in something extremely big, in a dream much bigger, and in the unveiling of a project of immense proportions. For KSU, it was an honor to be involved in the planning and organizing of the conference. I wish you the best in subsequent follow on activities.

Thanks again for your service to humanity. Bridging the Gap and Building the Bridge was a success!

Sincerely,
Adebayo
