Pan African Publishing House was started out of the need for the masses to read and hear more stories of Pan African history and culture written by authors of African descent. It is imperative that we, the people of Pan Africa, have a say in telling our own stories and recollecting our own history through an Afrocentric lens. Kujichagulia, the second principle of Kwanzaa, sums up our purpose: to define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves, and speak for ourselves.
