Classic Thinker Award

The Sankofa symbol is one of many sacred Adinkra Symbols ascribed to the Akan people who settled in the area of West Africa that is now called Ghana and Ivory Coast. 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 (representing the future) from its back. It is highly revered and permeates all aspects of Ghanaian culture and lifestyle.

"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. The wisdom from the past becomes the guide to a better and stronger future.

The Gye Nyame (gee-ya-may) symbol is the most popular of the group of sacred Adinkra Symbols ascribed to the Akan people who settled in the area of West Africa that is now called Ghana and Ivory Coast.  

The word Nyame is one of many names the Akan people use for the Supreme Being and Creator of the universe. Gye Nyame’s literal translation is “Except God”. The meaning draws from an African proverb about the mystery of creation; that there is no life that existed at its beginning and none will witness its end, except God, whose power makes all things possible.

The influence of the Gye Nyame symbol and other African traditions helped inspire the negro spirituals created by African slaves to express their feelings and for cheering each other during the slave trade.
