"(Singing) Funga Alafia, ashe, ashe. Funga Alafia, ashe, ashe. Funga Alafia, ashe, ashe. Funga Alafia, ashe, ashe. Everyone’s Place African Culture Center is one of fifty-four Black owned bookstores remaining in the United States. They have been in business for thirty years. If you want to be in a place that smells so good, come here. The aroma of incense, soaps, lotions and oils are just many of the products available here. They also have African jewelry and African cloth. It;s beautiful. Upstairs on the second floor, you will find yourself surrounded by shelves and shelves of classic and contemporary books by African-American writers, poets and critics. You will also find greeting cards and calendars upstairs. (Singing) Funga Alafia, ashe, ashe. Funga Alafia, ashe, ashe. Funga Alafia, ashe, ashe. Funga Alafia, ashe, ashe. "
