This video
chronicles the life and times of the noted African-American historian,
scholar and Pan-African activist John Henrik Clarke (1915-1998).

Both a
biography of Clarke himself and an overview of 5,000 years of African
history, the film offers a provocative look at the past through the
eyes of a leading proponent of an Afrocentric view of history. From
ancient Egypt and Africa?s other great empires, Clarke moves through
Mediterranean borrowings, the Atlantic slave trade, European
colonization, the development of the Pan-African movement, and
present-day African-American history.
