In 1999, KC embarked on a joint venture with three Harvard educators to create what has emerged as a leading portal for African Americans. Africana.com, updated daily and with more than 10,000 pages, is rated as one of the top black culture and community sites. In July 2000, Time Warner acquired Africana.com for "low eight figures" (exact sale price confidential) prior to its merger with America Online in 2001. While KC has since handed over production responsibilities to a US-based team, its many design and programming contributions continue to be featured on the site.
