@newslionsa: What if the history you learned about Africa was written to justify conquering it? In a 1969 interview with Finland’s Yleisradio, Miriam Makeba challenged the way colonial powers recorded Africa’s past, arguing that written history was often shaped by those who invaded and ruled the continent. She reminds us that African history also survived through oral traditions, elders and memory long before European records. If the conqueror wrote the history, how much of Africa’s story still needs to be reclaimed? #MiriamMakeba #MamaAfrica #SouthAfrica #AfricanHistory #sanews
The came and found that Africa was formless and they said let there be light. and then they named everything that was in it. Everything that was before that now became prehistory and had no meaning
