After a mandatory two-year hiatus due to COVID-19, the NPRDP Board of Directors is thrilled to announce its big return to New York City’s Fifth Avenue. The 2022 parade is dedicated to the municipality of Cidra, Puerto Rico, which is known as Pueblo de la Eterna Primavera (Town of the Eternal Spring) as well as the Greater Philadelphia Area, which is home to over 250,000 Puerto Ricans statewide. The NPRDP serves to unite approximately 8 million Puerto Ricans living across the 50 states and Puerto Rico in cultural pride and tradition, and we’re so excited to join them this year! This event will be taking place on Fifth avenue and spans from 43rd Street to 79th Street, be sure to keep an eye out for us, as we’ll be marching alongside our fellow Puerto Ricans in the parade.

On the day of the festival, people will hear the sounds hispanic and various music and smell the aromas of mouthwatering hispanic dishes for miles. The famous festival continues to bring an economic advantage to the neighborhood as well as offer a communal atmosphere for hispanics and anyone who wishes to learn more about the fun-loving culture that encompasses decadent music, food, and more.

Tuesday 7 June 20222pm (New York) | 7pm (London) | 7pm (Lagos)Anthropologists hold that there is a direct link between a community’s conception of time and how they see the physical and social worlds around them.
So what is the African conception of time? Does it affect how Africans view the world and social relationships and therefore should it affect how we study, write, and teach African history?
In this lecture and conversation, we will explore the African conception of time; its grounding in cosmological, religious, mythical, and social time; how it has been affected by interactions with non-African conceptions of time, and what this all means for African history.
Join us for what promises to be an engaging and insightful saunter through this key area of enquiry in the philosophy of history.
