There is an urgent need to bring History back to our schools in Africa. Our people (Africans), mostly the youth should be educated on the past experience of those who've been here before us, so that, it will guide them in their present and future decision making.
“History is not the past but a map of the past, drawn from a particular point of view, to be useful to the modern traveller.”
Henry Glassie, US historian.
Most of the culture we practice today in Africa were never part of us as a people.
History will help us to understand our culture. It will help us to understand our society. To understand our own identities and build citizenship.
Those who do not remember the past are likely going to repeat it.”
If a Jewish man cannot celebrate Adolf Hitler, why should I do so towards Madam Elizabeth.
Bring Back History Now!
