Following traditions from the motherland, on Father's day the Imani Foundation invites you to honor our ancestors (Forefathers/Foreparents) who have graduated from earthly life.

Following the beat of a drummer we will walk silently clockwise around the lake trail of Mount Trashmore in remembrance to our beloved familial, personal, national, and Diaspora ancestors. Carry memorabilia, pour walking libations, carry spiritual/religious materials, pray, honor, recognize, and the like as one walks the lake trail. End the silent walk with a drumming circle and social moments. Approximately a 30 minute walk. 8:00 - 9:00 AM.
