Lecture by Dr. John Henrik Clarke about the change and challenge of history for the African person.

History tells a people where and what they are and have been, what they still must be. He comments on how most people simply look at the history of the world as a whole, but overlook the histories of each people. He talks about the differences between men and women, blacks, and whites.
