Gus Casely-Hayford :The powerful stories that shaped Africa (transcript)

Summary

I think that the story is true that there are histories that are swapped histories and all countries have this problem not only Africa but also Asia and Japan.

There are people who takeover great countries. Thus they knew that those were great countries which had beautiful histories,

However, people who capture a country, of course, know it. Thus they continued to make stories.

Then those created stories become the true histories.

The speaker noticed that Africa remains roots that Africa was admired by the world, even it’s said that there is no history.

We are too busy every day to notice that our histories matter.

The struggles were endured, the sacrifices were made, narratives were being held.

This is the shocking story for us. However, this powerful story is needed to know how to shape true Africa.
