1984
The First Annual MOJA Arts Festival debuted, building on the mission of the three previous biennial Charleston Black Arts Festivals.
The festival was renamed “MOJA,” a Swahili word meaning “One” to illustrate its theme of creating and promoting harmony amongst all people in our community and is designed to highlight the many African-American and Caribbean contributions to western and world cultures.
MOJA’s wide range of events included visual arts, classical music, theatre, poetry, storytelling, dance, jazz, gospel, R&B, children’s activities, traditional crafts and ethnic food.
