The vision for the creation of the Corporate Council on Africa, today a thriving organization that includes fortune 500 companies among its members, crystallized more than two decades in the mind of an African American pioneer, Kevin Callwood, who told The African in an exclusive interview conducted during the 1999 U.S.-Africa Business Summit convened by CCA in Houston, Texas:
“I had the privilege of being the person who convened the first group of people to talk about the need for such an organization.”
