Black History Month 2008: The Real Deal on Africa
The Destruction of Black Civilization: Great Issues of a Race from 4500BC to 2000AD, by Dr. Chancellor Williams.
The Destruction of Black Civilization is one of the most important books in the canon of African historical works for Africans in the diaspora. Contemporary white scholars take issue with the writings of Dr. Chancellor, which is to be expected. We are to believe what is written by Europeans, but not by people of color.
For sixteen years Dr. Williams traveled through Africa compiling research and taking personal accounts of history and testimony from indigenous Africans. He introduces us to notable figures like Queen Nzinga of the Congo, who fought the Portuguese invaders, leading her own army and Hannibal Barca who led his army on the backs of elephants.
Dr. Williams answers the question “How did Blacks who built great civiliations become the race we are today.” Once you read this book you will see the systematic, organized and deliberate destruction of a great race.
