If you are not familiar with who John Henrik Clarke is, he is one of the best things to ever happen to black people on the scholarly field. This brother went through hell just to get us the truth about our history. He wrote many books but his best works would have to be Christopher Columbus And The African Holocaust and Africans At The Crossroads. This book is mainly portions of different speeches that he did before. Now if you have ever seen the illustrious elder speak before, you know that he makes good sense. He is very wise but also compassionate when speaking about the past and the present state of Africans in America. Already you know that you cant go wrong with this book or any book by John Henrik Clarke. My favorite chapters are Chapter one: Who Betrayed The African World Revolution, Chapter three: The Contribution of Nile Valley Civilization To World Civilization, Chapter 5: The Historical Basis Of Africantricity and Chapeter 7: Unblemished, Uncorrupted Leadership. In closing if you are familiar with John Henrik Clarke's work and speeches would do well to have this book in your collection. John Henrik Clarke had yet to dissapoint me with his work and I doubt he'll dissapoint you with this one. Rest In Peace John Henrik Clarke and I would also like to say rest in peace to two other exceptional people would contributed to the struggle: Rest In Peace to Del Jones and Asa G Hilliard III.

This book gives a more insightful understanding of the betrayal of the African People's revolution. I hadn't realized that so much of the betrayal was done by our own people. Dr. Clarke lets no one off the hook in this very interesting writing of African history.

I would like to add that a deeper and more thorough understanding can be found in Kwame Nkhrumah's; "Africa Must Unite".

I know this was good book not just because I read, but because john henrik clarke goes in depth in his essays about african liberation. I love this book,but I have not finished reading it. He was a great Pan-africanist as well as a extraordinary griot.
