This award-winning documentary chronicles the life and times of the world-famous African-American historian, scholar and Pan-African activist, John Henrick Clarke. Clarke recounts his life and times and provides an overview of 5,000 years of African history. This video offers a fascinating look at the past, from ancient Egypt and Africa’s other great empires, Mediterranean influences, the Atlantic slave trade, European colonization, the development of the Pan-African movement, and present-day African American history.
