The goal of ASO is to educate the Binghamton University's campus about the issues affecting Africans and people of the diaspora. As an organization, we aim to break down the myths, stereotypes, and misrepresentations that have distorted western perceptions of Africa while promoting unity and multiculturalism. Every spring semester, we hold our annual fashion show, "Threads of the Motherland." The Threads of the Motherland consists of tasteful and high fashion clothing, a live DJ and various performances throughout the night, in which we showcase the creativity of designers and promote African culture.
