Knowledge is Power

John Henrik Clarke is mentioned in the Other Resources section.  This is a great documentary of Africans from antiquity until today. Read more below.

Other Resources on West Africa (books, DVD, VHS)

John Henrik Clarke: A Great And Mighty Walk (Sundance Channel, DVD/VHS)- Catch this documentary on Sundance or get a hold of the DVD/VHS. I watch it when ever it is on. Clarke, a historian, activist, gives you the straight truth from his research of Africans from antiquity to the present day. Wesley Snipes is the narrator, and an executive producer of this production. Get a full dose of history and your place in it.
