The sixth Sullivan gathering of African and African-American leaders and other friends of Africa was held July 12-17, 2003 in Abuja, Nigeria. The theme, Africa - A Continent of Possibilities, evoked the spirit of the late Reverend Leon Sullivan, who believed Africa's problems could be solved by determined and optimistic addressing of the continent's challenges. A World Airways charter from Atlanta brought hundreds of delegates to the Nigerian capital. In the background can be seen Air Force One; President George W. Bush was on the last day of a five-nation Africa trip when the Sullivan delegates arrived.
