Abstract
The title of this paper may be a misnomer with two assumptions: for missing links to be re-established, they must first exist and then cease to exist. Regarding the first supposition, much debate has occurred concerning the existence of links between an African past and the experience of Africans on American soil. This writer assumes that regardless of the degree to which descendants of Africans in America exemplify their cultural heritage, a transcultural connection inextricably binds the common purpose of Africans of the Diaspora and Africans remaining on the continent, striving toward the fullness of potential.
