The Official Royal House of Sori alongside Dr. Artemus Gaye announces the 2026 launch of The Walking in the Footsteps of a Prince Tour, a historic cultural journey that reconnects Afro‑American descendants of Prince Abdulrahman Ibrahim ibn Sori with the ancestral, cultural, and spiritual landscapes that shaped their royal lineage.

A Journey Rooted in Ancestral Memory

The tour opens each year in Timbo, Guinea, the birthplace of the Sori dynasty and the homeland of Prince Abdulrahman. Participants walk the historic paths of their ancestor, engage with cultural leaders, and experience the living traditions of the Fouta Djallon.

From Guinea, the journey continues to the United States, where the Prince’s story took a dramatic and world‑changing turn.

Natchez, Mississippi: The Annual Prince Abdulrahman Day

Each year, the tour returns to Natchez, Mississippi, the city where Prince Abdulrahman lived during his captivity and where his extraordinary fight for freedom gained national attention. Natchez hosts the annual Prince Abdulrahman Day, a commemoration that honors his resilience, intellect, and enduring legacy.

This gathering brings together descendants, scholars, cultural institutions, and community partners to celebrate the Prince’s life and the unbroken lineage of the Sori royal house.

Hartford, Connecticut: Completing the Journey

The tour concludes annually in Hartford, Connecticut, the city where Prince Abdulrahman spent his final years in America before his attempted return to Africa. Hartford serves as the final chapter of the tour, offering space for reflection, dialogue, and continued cultural exchange.

A Living Legacy Across Continents

The Walking in the Footsteps of a Prince Tour is more than a commemorative program. It is:

• A cultural homecoming

• A scholarly and diplomatic exchange

• A bridge between Africa and the diaspora

• A restoration of identity and historical truth

• A celebration of the Sori dynasty’s enduring influence

Through this annual journey, the descendants of Prince Abdulrahman reclaim a story that was interrupted but never lost.

Looking Ahead to 2026

As the world prepares for the 2026 kickoff, The Official Royal House of Sori invites descendants, cultural partners, academic institutions, and global supporters to join this transformative experience. Together, we honor the past, uplift the present, and build a future rooted in dignity, truth, and ancestral pride.
