Stacey Vintage Black GOLD, you will see an attempt a long time ago to teach Black Americans Black History. This begins by explaining the word "Negro" was just a made up term to strip away everything about Africa from us. The little known heritage of the Negro is explored in this premiere program. Host Ossie Davis, Basil Davidson (British writer and historian on Africa), and John Henry Clark (American Negro writer and teacher), examine the civilization and achievements of ancient Africa and their significance to the American Negro today. Footage shot on location in Africa reveals traces of the old African cultures - Nubian, Egyptian, Ethiopian, and the West African civilizations of Mali, Songhai, Ashanti, Ife, Benin, and Timbucktoo. Mr. Davidson, author of "The African Past," "Black Mother," and other books on Africa, emphasizes that African history as recorded by white historians has traditionally ignored the old civilizations of Africa below the Sahara. Climatic conditions, peculiar to the African continent, have largely destroyed traces of what was once "the cradle of civilization." We explore this little-known past through the art, sculpture, and present day pageantry which reflect the old cultures. In New York, writer John Henry Clark conducts a class in Negro history for a group of young Harlem residents. Make sure to join us for every episode. Give us your thoughts!
