Black Pages Atlanta
The first print and on-line Black Pages Atlanta directory has been compiled and is being distributed in the Metro-Atlanta community. Please use our print and on-line directory to connect and to invest in the businesses listed there, and like the Sankofa bird, you will be flying forward and creating your future - today. Call or contact us on-line to get your copy and to advertise your business in the May 2009 edition.

Black Pages Atlanta Business Directory and Information Guide was created for the purpose of improving the connection between Black consumers and Black businesses. There are 64,000 Black businesses in Atlanta and 1.5 million Black consumers. Black Pages Atlanta's goal is to serve those businesses by bringing more customers to their door. Black Pages Atlanta is the helping hands that are our own.

Black Pages Atlanta has chosen the Sankofa Bird as it's logo. The concept of Sankofa is derived from King Adinkera of the Akan people of West Africa. Sankofa is expressed in the Akan language as "se wo were fi na wosan kofa a yenki."

Literally translated it means "it is not taboo to go back and fetch what you forgot."

"Sankofa" teaches us that we must go back to our roots in order to move forward. That is, we should reach back and gather the best of what our past has to teach us, so that we can achieve our full potential as we move forward. Whatever we have lost, forgotten, forgone or been stripped of, can be reclaimed, revived, preserved and perpetuated.

Visually and symbolically "Sankofa" is expressed as a mythic bird that flies forward while looking backward with an egg (symbolizing the future) in its mouth.
