WE HAVE A RICH HISTORY
A PUSH IN A NEW DIRECTION........NO RACISM NO POLITICS, JUST THE TRUTH THAT AFRICAN AMERICANS HAVE A HISTORY NOT TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS, HERE IS THE VERSION I WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT......................
Chancellor James Williams
Chancellor James Williams was an African-American sociologist, historian and writer. He is noted for his work on African civilizations prior to encounters with Europeans.
Professor Williams published over 50 articles, professional books, and lectures. Among his publications are The Raven, The Rebirth of African Civilization, and the greatest book, The Destruction of Black Civilization.
"I was convinced that what troubled me and what I wanted to know,
was what troubled the black masses and what they wanted to know . We
wanted to know the whole truth, good and bad . For it would be a continuing
degradation of the African people if we simply destroyed the
present system of racial lies embedded in world literature only to
replace it with glorified fiction based more on wishful thinking than on
the labors of historical research .
My inquiry, therefore, was concerned with Black Civilization alone what
the Blacks themselves achieved independently of either Europe or
Asia . This was an entirely new approach to the study of the history of
the Blacks . It meant, first of all, segregating traditional African institutions
from those later influenced by Islamic Asia and Christian Europe . In
this way, and in no other, we can determine what our heritage really was
and, instead of just talking about "identity," we shall know at last
precisely what purely African body of principles, value systems or
philosophy of life gradually evolved from our own forefathers over
countless ages, and we will be able to develop an African ideology to
guide us onward . In other words, there can be no real identity with our
heritage until we know what our heritage really is . It is all hidden in our
history, but we are ignorant of that history . We have been floating
alone, basking blissfully in the sunny heritage of other peoples!
My research was a quest for some specific answers to very, specific
questions . Some of these were : (1) How did all-black Egypt become allwhite
Egypt? (Note at this point that mulattoes were classified as white
in Egypt, all North Africa, and the Middle East-a fact that still confuses
Blacks in the United States where the very opposite policy was adopted .)
(2) What were some of the specific details in the process that so
completely blotted out the achievements of the African race from the
annals of history-just how could this he done on such a universal scale?
(3) How and under what circumstances did Africans, among the very
first people to invent writing, lose this art almost completely? (4) Is there
a single African race, one African people? (5) if we are one race or one
people, how do you explain the numerous languages, cultural varieties
and tribal groupings? (6) Since, as it seemed to me there is far more
disunity, self-hatred and mutual antagonisms among Blacks than any
other people, is there a historical explanation for this? (7) And how, in
puzzling contrast, is the undying love of Blacks for their Europeans and
Asian conquerors and enslavers explained?
