AFRICAN HISTORY BEFORE THE SLAVE TRADE
Black History Studies in association with Ealing Libraries presents 'African History Before The Slave Trade.'
African History Before The Slave Trade is a visually stunning presentation that addresses one key question: What history do Black people have before the slave trade started? The lecture discusses the Empire of Mali, the Yoruba Kingdoms, Medieval Sudan, Medieval Ethiopia and the East African Coast. These civilisations have left behind a splendid array of evidence that are all discussed in the lecture. This evidence includes wonderful artefacts, illuminated manuscripts, and impressive architecture. The lecture is linked to the new book by Robin Walker: Before the Slave Trade
