The Afrocentric Sankofa symbol is one of the sacred Adinkra symbols of the Akan
people of West Africa for centuries. The word Sankofa literally means
"Go back for it". The symbol is represented by a forward moving
metaphorical bird with its head turned backwards to retrieve an egg from
its back. The egg symbolizes the future. "Sankofa" reminds us to
leverage the lessons of the past to achieve our full potential in the
future. That whatever was lost, forgone or stripped of, can be
reclaimed, revived, preserved and perpetuated.
