Long before the likes of Thomas Sankara, Robert Mugabe and Nelson Mandela burst onto the international scene as the faces of anti-imperialism in Africa, one man stood head and shoulders above his peers as the leading political voice and the very embodiment of Africa’s struggle against colonialism.

Ghana’s first president, Dr Kwame Nkrumah, took the world by storm as he led his nation to become the first black African nation to gain independence from the European powers. But just as Nkrumah’s revolutionary leadership in Ghana, would trigger a wave of independence movements all across sub-saharan Africa, his gradual decline and sudden overthrow would also become a familiar story across virtually all of Africa’s newly independent states.

This is the story of how Dr Kwame Nkrumah went from being Ghana’s messiah and a faultless hero to a political pariah, whose ultimate demise would lead to wild celebrations in the streets by the very same people that had once loved and adored him.

Despite political rhetoric to the contrary, the United States and China have enjoyed the most mutually successful economic partnership in modern history.

The Group of Seven (G7) nations include the US, Canada, the UK, Japan, Germany, France, and Italy. As emerging market economies, and especially China, have boomed, the G7's share of global GDP has dramatically fallen.

But a closer examination of the underlying economic data shows that the United States' share of global GDP has risen, especially since 2010. The US is the only G7 country to take a larger share of global GDP while China's economy rocketed higher.

The Maasai are a tribe living along the Rift Valley near the Kenya-Tanzania border. Their concept of wealth is based on the amount of cattle, women and children a man possess. Women own nothing and have to attach themselves to a man for survival.

The documentary series “Disappearing World” was originally broadcasted between 1970-1975.
As an anthropological landmark of its time, the series tells the story of traditional communities endangered by the modern world’s progressions.
The series stands as a historical document of daily life in remote and threatened societies, such as the Cuiva, Embera and Panare Indians of Colombia, the nomadic Tuareg of the Sahara, the Kurdish Dervishes, and the Meo of China.

Harriet A. Washington, MA, ethicist and author of Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Experimentation from Colonial Times to the Present, which won a National Book Critics Circle Award, will outline the historical roots of racial mistreatment in the U.S. medical research arena. She discusses contemporary challenges to ethical research and health care, from the elision of informed consent to the neoeugenic policies, through the lens of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This event was held as part of the "Racism, Medicine, and Bioethics" event series in honor of Black History Month, 2021. Harvard Medical School Center for Bioethics and the Tuskegee University National Center for Bioethics in Research and Health Care partnered in organizing this series to examine the history of racism in medicine, its impact on Black individuals and the Black community, and to gather solutions for a healthier future from experts and thought leaders in history, health policy and law, social justice, and public health and medicine.

African architecture should stop copying the West, engage the real needs of the people and regard the environment, says Diébédo Francis Kéré.

Looking at the housing situation in West Africa, architect Diébédo Francis Kéré (Kéré Architecture) says that Africans should stop imitating the Western way of building and rather adapt it to their own needs – and the needs of the community – in order to cope better with the weather patterns in the region.

Due to the lack of a secure income, people build their houses themselves... and as models, they just copy the neighbouring house. In this part of the world, we only have one school for architecture, says Kéré.

Kéré believes the built environment in Africa should adapt to nature, while maintaining the cultural richness of the people.

He talks about his dream to make things better in his home country of Burkina Faso and tells how he has been introducing traditional building techniques that allow for natural ventilation to the communities in West Africa. By giving the community a framework within which to work, he encouraged the people of Burkina Faso to build houses that breathe.

Looking at various architectural projects in West Africa, Kéré points to the merits of clay building techniques.
