      She is not, she wasn’t not there to investigate religion. She was just trying to remind us how our Africa was civilized. Can we take the positive part please? And she didn’t make up these stories. Good day friend.

This work is truly important for all of us in the diaspora to digest. I watched the entire series with my four children who are very young. I was elated to have such a powerful presentation of African history to begin shaping their sense of self.

    I am African American and today I discovered the History of Africa series which brought me here. I was immediately drawn in by the truth so eloquently spoken by this beautiful and highly intelligent woman. So much of what I learned in history class about Africa made it seem there was little relevant history in Africa outside of European colonial activity. Africa has a rich history that cannot be ignored, and thank you Ms. Badawi for your passion in giving an enlightening presentation from an African perspective. By reclaiming our narrative we assert our true relevance.

    I live in France, and what I’ve noticed is that children of African decent born here consider themselves as French and not African. It is almost a taboo to even speak your local dialect around your friends. There is a total denial of African ancestry and it’s largely coming from the educational system. It’s the saddest thing.

      Living outside of your country is tough. Have pity on those kids. Non white people in France (and other countries) have to battle for their rights in that country and have to assert that they are French just like the white people. If they cannot claim French identity, many white French would say “go back to your country”. It’s a tough needle to thread, not forgetting your blood identity but also trying to make sure that you get what you need from the country that colonized your ancestors.

    • @rosemaryphorson8064

      There is total denial because most African parents don't know their history and do have a sense of inferiority complex which they pass on to their children. The french system will not "educate" African children so parents must embrace their culture and history and teach their children.

    What the BBC series " History of Africa with Zeinab Badawi" has done is not just tell a great story in words, but it has taken viewers "there'' using great videos and pictures to illustrate "lives in the past", of many and different kingdoms that rose and fell in Africa, even before Christ Era to the recent past. The evidence in the artifacts, ruins, cave drawings, traditions etc etc, demonstrate a rich history of the African continent and is sure to make us proud not just Africans, but as a human race, of where and how far we have come from.

    Listened to most of these BBC series and was pleasantly surprised that most of what you said was in sync with what i have heard from people like Professor James Small; Professor Ben Jochannan; Professor Henrick Clarke.

    Thanks Zeinab. I enjoyed watching your series "History of Africa with Zeinab Badawi" on BBC. As an African, I learned a lot about the ancient history of Africa. I also learned the importance of African people telling and writing their history by themselves. I also learned about great African minds like Cheikh Anta Diop.

    That’s brilliantly true. Within studying African history (the common aspects being the arts and culture) scientific developments and exchanges between Kingdoms(Ife to Benin) have been found as well as strategic town planning. It’s becoming common to see eco-friendly packaging(a global eco solution) being adopted from the Nigerian moin-moin and eko sellers etc. So if such people don’t know, embrace and develop what they have, how would they be able to contribute positively to the planet?
    Thanks to all who’ve made this series available.

    This is what West Africa did, it managed to keep its traditions intact despite economic colonialism, cultural colonialism failed in the West African region.

    She's absolutely correct. African history has a severe lesson of dramatic climate change and migration due to the cause of them. It is a fabric of our human d.n.a. that stems back to the heart of the continent of Africa; and it's rift may well react at the same time as the America's.
