Super-rare LP by Dr. Ben ( December 31, 1918 – March 19, 2015), recorded in 1971.

Liner notes:
For many years, the general public and the Black Community in particular, lived in the midst of a virtual desert of non-information about ancient African history. By chance, a man or woman here and there would glimpse the dim past, discover its treasures, and understand its meaning. But today, during the period of Black Se!f-Discovery, this is changing. Today, the covers are being pulled off the past in a manner that will spark all sorts of reactions. Some will try to walk away in disbelief. Many others will find their eyes opening so wide to a new encounter with the Truth that their lives will never be the same again. Never! Your life won't be the same again either, once the needle touches these grooves. What you have in your hands is a mind blower! It is history—Black people's history, our history—revealed in rare form. Check it out for yourself: Was Moses a Black man? Did the early Christian church start in Africa? Is it true that the queen of England has African ancestors? Did Black scholars, in fact, help to create the religion of Islam? Who, indeed, first wrote and spoke the words, "Man, Know Thyself?" Check it out for yourself. The Committee for Student Rights, Inc., in response to strong public demand, produced this two-record album of a major lecture delivered by the renowned historian-philosopher, Dr. Yosef Ben-Jochannan. The Committee captured just a portion of the impact of Dr. Ben-Jochannan's speech before an overflow audience that day when the Truth of African people's glorious1iistory took them by surprise. . . . The speaker is an Ethiopia-born Black scholar who spent part of his early life in the West Indies. He has been a researcher into the past of the African race since the 1930's. His travels have taken him to four continents. The founder of Akebu-lan Book Publishing Company, Dr. Ben-Jochannan is the author of an impressive list of publications, including Black Man of the Nile, Africa-Mother of Western Civilization, African Origins of the Major Western Religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), Cul-tural Genocide in the Black Studies Curriculum, We, the Black Jews, and others. He authored summary works called, "A Chronology of the Bible," and "The Black Man's North and East Africa." Herein lies a golden opportunity for you to get "turned on" to yourself in a short time. Freeing Black people means freeing yourself, and to free yourself you must take back your mind. Knowing YOUR/OUR history is the first step in this liberation process.

Kwame Toure & Marcus Garvey Jr. discuss Pan Africanism.

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.

The Syliphone Years
Au lendemain de la décolonisation de la Guinée, le nouveau président Sékou Touré s'affirme comme le promoteur d'une réhabilitation de l'authenticité africaine face au déni colonial des cultures colonisées. Dans une perspective d'unité nationale et panafricaine, les artistes obtiennent le statut de fonctionnaire d'état et sont encouragés par le gouvernement à composer et écrire de nouvelles chansons dans un style plus moderne, tout en puisant dans le répertoire des récits historiques et des musiques ancestrales de l'aire Mandingue. Le fer de lance de cette politique n'était autre qu'un label d'état, le label Syliphone, dont les enregistrements sont de formidables témoignages du dynamisme et des richesses culturelles d'un peuple à l'aube de son indépendance qui porte au monde la voix de sa révolution.

► Sory Kandia Kouyaté
Le chanteur guinéen est sans aucun doute celui qui aura permis à la musique mandingue de toucher les coeurs, au-delà des cultures. Fils, petit-fils et arrière-petit-fils de djéli, Sory Kandia a appris les arts du verbe et du ngoni, luth traditionnel. Il a aussi appris tous les contes et légendes, tous les mythes fondateurs des royaumes du Mandé, de Soundiata Keïta l’empereur infirme, à Sadio, la fille à l’hippopotame.
Son prestige, cependant, il l’a tiré de l’outil dont il se sert le mieux : sa voix. Claire, forte, parfaitement maîtrisée. Et aussi de sa capacité à moderniser les chants anciens.
Conteur privilégié du parti de l’indépendance, il se voit confier directement par le président Sékou Touré la direction de l’Ensemble instrumental et choral de la ’’Voix de la Révolution’’ créé le 4 janvier 1961. La mission de l’Ensemble est claire : composer, adapter, orchestrer et interpréter les airs populaires, pour que demeure en mémoire l’histoire de la patrie. L’expérience apparait comme un véritable laboratoire de la musique traditionnelle africaine et Sory Kandia devient la ’’Voix de l’Afrique’’ avant Miriam Makéba !
Sur cet opus de 2 CD, nous présentons deux facettes de sa musique, la contemporaine et la traditionnelle pour expliquer pourquoi aujourd’hui, près de quarante ans après sa mort, il reste un artiste aimé et respecté.

As far as African dictators go, there is probably no single greater illustration of the nuances and complexities that underpin dictatorships in Africa, than Joseph Desire Mobutu’s 31 year stint, as the leader of the nation known today as the DRC.

A self-proclaimed anti-communist who modelled his entire state apparatus after China’s chairman Mao. A self-styled African revolutionary, who collaborated with his country’s former colonisers to assassinate his own prime minister and a proud Afrocentric, whose love for European luxuries and prestige would see him seize control of an estimated one third of his country’s GDP and build a personal net worth nearly twice the size of his country’s national debt.

A paradoxical man from a nation of paradox. Mobutu may have been stereotypically arrogant and cruel, but he was far from a simpleton. His over 3 decades as Congo’s Supreme leader, would be built on a complex combination of evil genius, will power and good fortune.
