👑 THIS SUNDAY, THE KING IS COMING.
Prince George’s County, in partnership with Manhyia Palace and the Embassy of Ghana, brings Akwasidae USA 2026 to Maryland—a once-in-a-lifetime royal and cultural experience in the presence of His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene, the 16th King of the Asante Kingdom.
Experience the majesty, pageantry and centuries-old traditions of Asanteman—from the grand royal procession and magnificent regalia to powerful drumming, traditional dance and ceremonial traditions passed down through generations.
With Prince George’s County Executive Aisha N. Braveboy helping lead this historic celebration and Governor Wes Moore attending, this occasion reaches far beyond ceremony. It represents a growing relationship between Prince George’s County and the Asante Kingdom, rooted in cultural exchange, shared heritage and stronger connections between Africa and its global Diaspora.

A powerful moment for Africa and the Diaspora. 🌍

On August 25, **Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene**, delivered a historic lecture at **Howard University** in Washington, D.C., bringing together traditional leadership and academia for an important conversation on **scholarship, leadership, culture, and the advancement of people of African descent.**

Beyond the lecture, the occasion was also a vibrant celebration of the **richness, beauty and traditions of Asante culture** — a powerful display of African heritage on one of America’s most historic Black university campuses.

Convened by the **Millennium Excellence Foundation**, the gathering reflected the importance of building stronger bridges between Africa and its global Diaspora through knowledge, culture, leadership and shared purpose.

Afropolitan Cities was honored to be present and capture moments from this historic occasion.
