Really awesome and informative lecture.
GREAT LECTURES TO CREATE YOUR OWN MEDIA CURRICULUM IN YOUR OWN HOME ..
I read about him as an assigned for my first week for my graduate program and I am fascinated and Intrigued about the Afrocentric theory.
It's Duwah not Duboy.
@ Rene Barendse, this talk is not full of errors. DuBois, indeed, went to the University of Berlin.
The Ewe do not have a court ? tell me more about the Ewe !
This lecture is well delivered and intended is full of errors and it grossly misreads DuBois besides. For example: DuBois did not to go school in Berlin, he went to the university . The conference in Manchester was organised by Nkrumah and Padmore – not by DuBois. The only Nigerian leader there was Nnamdi Azikiwe. The Ewe do not have a court, where are the Brong? And as to the final playdoyer that is simply reiterating the old colonial point that the Zimbabwe ruins were built by Egyptians.
Its not on DuBois. Its on DuBois and the theory of double consciousness, and his connection to Africa. Its not a history lesson, its a philosophic discussion
I was in this guys class at Temple University in 2007. Amazing Teacher
