![1998 Essence Empowerment Series: Keynote Speaker, Randal Robinson](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
Keynote speaker Randall Robinson speaks about his long history of activism including protest of Ronald Reagan's involvement with apartheid and a hunger strike against US control of Haiti. Robinson's main emphasis is about how the history of Africa and Africans in America dictates that it is up to Blacks to demand what they deserve and the importance of knowing one’s own history. Robinson describes that schools teach that the Greeks are the beginning of civilization and provides contradictory evidence that a majority of ancient Greek technology was discovered by ancient Africans and passed on to Greeks. The speech ends with Robinson explaining the unjust ways American capitalism ravages Africa.
