#5: Aksum – One of the Four Great Powers of Antiquity

Black&nbsp;History&nbsp;Unveiled: From the Continent to the Diaspora is a podcast by Swedish-Gambian journalist and author Amat Levin. It focuses on the part of world&nbsp;history&nbsp;that has received shockingly little attention. The podcast highlights gripping&nbsp;historical&nbsp;events, fascinating places, and exciting people that have been conspicuous by their absence in our&nbsp;history&nbsp;books. Some episodes are about things that happened hundreds, even thousands of years ago. Others take place more recently and touch on scenes many of us may have witnessed. The stories are inspiring, illuminating, startling, and sometimes upsetting. By listening, you'll learn why&nbsp;Black&nbsp;history&nbsp;has traditionally been suppressed, why it's essential to change that, and what learning about it can teach us about today.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
