About EAHCS:

The Ethiopian-American Historical and Cultural Society incorporated in 2002 is a non-profit membership organization. Our Mission is to collect, preserve, and promote the history of the diverse people of Ethiopia - past and present. We do so in a belief that creating a familiarity with one’s history can inspire individuals to learn from the experiences of others, find common ground with them, and aid everyone in making informed decisions that are needed to shape a stronger society now and in the future.

The lack of understanding about Ethiopia’s past and present is a problem of serious consequences, especially to the Ethiopian American youth where their confidence and pride is at stake. The issue of how Ethiopia is depicted and understood in our minds is also of critical importance to our relationship with the United States.
