The Historian and His Struggle

This is a great article (http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/comment/34532). The history of Africa has been covered up for the most part and individuals that are from the diaspora have not been able to easily learn about their history. When you learn about your history and are able to get in touch with your roots, no matter what your culture, you are able to grow up and walk around with a sense of pride, a sense of ownership, a sense of purpose, inclusion and entitlement that says my ancestors and I have played an important part in this world and that I, my peers and our offspring have an obligation to continue to do so.
