... The first, and perhaps the most important fact is that the general enslavement of Africans, proclaimed to the world as savages, began during the very period and in the very West Africa in the center of which one of the great universities of the world and other colleges were located. -The Black Revival of Learning, p. 247

CHAPTER VIII

The Resurrection and the Life: Case Studies by States

"THEY CALLED IT "GHANA" ONE BLACK STATE DEFIED THE SLOW ONSLAUGHT OF THE Sahara for over two thousand years, hanging on to its fringes far into historic times, just as though it was determined to let the world actually see how all of its sister states in that vast wasteland had died. Furthermore, it’s very antiquity and the similarity of its advanced institutions to those of the Ethiopian empire in the east has raised the question of whether it was a western outpost of that empire. There is, of course, no question about the travels of Blacks between the Eastern and Western Sudan.

The "geographers" were among the first foreigners to arrive in the region in the 10th century A.D. The Arab and European practice of naming countries and peoples often displayed both ignorance and arrogance. They did not condescend to inquire of the people about the name of their country or the meaning of the titles they held. So they called this country "Ghana," meaning the leader, head of the state or, in Western terms, the king. The people who migrated into the country from all directions had every reason to believe they were far enough into the interior to be free and secure at last in a kingdom that had never been conquered either by the forces of nature or of men. And its history was long. As citizens, they could help in the further development of the general prosperity and the education which was an integral part of the national program.
