Explore the untold history of African resilience and global impact in this powerful lecture by renowned scholar **Dr. John Henrik Clarke**. Delving into the 16th–19th centuries, Clarke analyzes Europe’s economic competition for New World dominance, the brutal realities of the transatlantic slave trade, and the unyielding resistance of African people. Discover how enslaved Africans shaped economies, mastered skilled trades, and led rebellions that challenged colonial powers. Clarke also unpacks the transition from slavery to colonialism, the psychological warfare of oppression, and the enduring legacy of Pan-African thought.
