About ACI

The Afrimerican Culture Initiative (ACI) is a Boston-based nonprofit dedicated to engineering restorative bridges in underserved multicultural communities through research, education, and technology. We address critical issues like redlining, urban renewal, rezoning, and affordable housing through culturally relevant education, advocacy, and community-driven solutions.

Through our programs—Afrimerican Academy, Afrimerican TV, dynamic cultural heritage tours, and digital storytelling initiatives—we empower youth and communities to preserve history, combat displacement, and build a more inclusive future. Our work is rooted in Restorative Project Management (RPM), ensuring that every initiative nurtures the culture to thrive.

Our Roots and Vision

Founded in December 2015 by Marlon Solomon, a civil engineer with a deep commitment to civil rights, ACI was born from a vision to reconcile cultural divides—a vision influenced by Marlon’s unique African American and African heritage. Our journey began with the ambition to repair, rebuild, and rejuvenate, ensuring that every project we undertake serves the community’s needs while honoring our diverse backgrounds.
