It appears that from time immemorial, stark greed, the desire for wealth, has overridden all humane considerations. He concentrated on African civilizations before the European encounter, and was one of a group of scholars who asserted that Egypt had been a black civilization. African imperialism, notwithstanding its successes and great achievements, could not solve the disunity problem because, according to Williams, African constitutionalism is inherently anti-empire.

In “The Destruction of Black Civilization,” the great scholar Chancellor Williams sets out to trace the tragic downfall of Black societies throughout recorded human history. And, since I had learned that whites were once enslaved as generally as any other race, how did it come about that slavery was finally concentrated in Africa on Blacks only? We build and maintain all our own systems, but we don’t charge for access, sell user information, or run ads. Our history can then become at once the foundation and guiding light for united efforts in serious planning what we should be about now. Williams' central thesis is that Egypt, particularly Upper Egypt constituted the Northern boundary of a larger Ethiopian empire rooted in Napata and Kerma.In detailing and evaluating the merits of African constitutionalism, Williams demonstrates (especially through the telling of the history of the Kingdom of Kuba) how the erosion of traditional African democracy and devolution into autocracy helped speed up the destruction of African civilizations.

We understand that not everyone can donate right now, but if you can afford to contribute, we promise it will be put to good use.

Although, various scholars have argued that the origins of the Egyptian civilisation derived from communities which emerged in both the Saharan and Sudanese regions of the Nile Valley. Also there was no "black" civilization in antiquity, and certainly no concept of "black race" to be destroyed. Our resources are crucial for knowledge lovers everywhere—so if you find all these bits and bytes useful, please pitch in. The strategies used to conquer parts of the African nation by the europeans and the Arab invaders were interesting and diabolical; to be able to turn a people against themselves without ever having to step on the battlefield. Williams outlines his vast knowledge of the history of black civilisation which boldly redefines the conventional narrative of most Westernised history.

In our age we need to demonstrates that the methodology and tools that we employ are above those the colonialist used to describe us. Greed has served as a kind of anesthesia, deadening humane sentiments and breaking the bonds of affection that relates man to man.It was largely because of these works that, at the World Festival of the Arts held in Dakar in 1966, Dr.
