The Council of Independent Black Institutions (CIBI) invites you to the 1st Annual Hannibal Tyrus Afrik Teacher Training Institute (TTI), a sacred gathering dedicated to strengthening the minds and spirits of those who teach, nurture, and lead Black children. Named in honor of ancestor Hannibal Tyrus Afrik, a visionary educator and freedom fighter who dedicated his life to the liberation of African people through activism and education. This teacher training institute carries forward his legacy of self-determination, cultural integrity, and collective upliftment.
This inaugural is designed to ground participants in the principles and practices of African-centered education while offering practical tools to transform classrooms, schools, and learning spaces. Through interactive workshops, community dialogue, and hands-on application, we will deepen our shared commitment to teaching in ways that reflect our highest values and ancestral wisdom.

Why We Gather:
The Hannibal Tyrus Afrik Teacher Training Institute is more than professional development — it is a homecoming for those devoted to the sacred work of education as liberation.
