International Day for People of African Descent is observed on August 31 each year. This holiday was created by the United Nations to celebrate the diverse heritage and several contributions of people of African descent. The African diaspora has long been recognized for its spirit and contributions to art, culture, science, and other fields, and it continues to mark a distinctive presence and positive impact in several parts of the world.

Today so many African have traveled overseas for greener pastures looking for a better life and better future for themselves and their family. Some do remember to come home and others chose not to have anything to do with Africa anymore. Today is a special day meant to celebrate those small heroes who went out of their way to look for greener pastures for themselves and their families not minding the risk involved and especially those who came back to help make their motherland a success. They are the true hidden heroes that help us develop Africa each day.
