Our Symbol
About the Sankofa Bird
The Sankofa bird is a symbol rooted in the Akan tradition of West Africa. It means to look back so you can move forward. For Cherry Hill Strong, it represents the wisdom, history, and strength passed down through generations of residents who have built and cared for this community.
We use the Sankofa because Cherry Hill's future is connected to its past. It reminds us to honor where we come from, learn from what came before us, and carry the best of Cherry Hill forward as we build what comes next.
