Another Ann Arbor is an informative web site that relies on contributions and information from the community. The harvest and need is great. African Americans and people of African descent are able to use this outlet to address various concerns, happenings and issues in and around the Ann Arbor area. I applaud this websites efforts. "It takes a village to raise a child" - this village is the black folks of Ann Arbor and the child is all of the endeavors that assist with inclusion, justice and fairness for people of African American descent.

Mission: Another Ann Arbor, Inc. is a Michigan nonprofit whose mission is to promote the history, culture and concerns of African Americans in the local community. There are two purposes of this collaboratory. One is to increase the Internet usage and computer skills of African American youth in Washtenaw County. The other goal is to create a website that promotes the goals and mission of Another Ann Arbor by providing a means of communication and information for the African American community.
