This presentation will cover two significant periods, the Slave Trade (1503 A.D. - 1883 A.D.) and the Colonization Era (1885 A.D. - 1950 A.D.). Gain insights into when European nations kidnapped and enslaved Africans via the Transatlantic Slave Trade, followed by The Berlin Conference of 1884- 85, whereby European countries carved up the continent to extract resources from Africa. Learn about the rush to extract resources from Africa and the resistance within the African Diaspora.
Special guest, Dr. Kenneth Ombongi, will shed light on the fact that Africans did not surrender their home or their family to the Maafa (African Holocaust). He will discuss Africa's independence of nations from the French, British, Spanish, Dutch, and Portuguese invaders and the struggle that continues to rob the continent of its resources.
