Worth Repeating

Compelling and stimulating, this film is also a lesson about the history of African peoples. It is worth listening to and extremely well told. Adding to its power is the place that John Henrik Clarke himself has had in this history, including his role as an advisor to Kwame Nkrumah and a confidant and friend to Malcolm X. Although the filmmakers have gathered exceptional and rare archival footage and still photos covering a range of subjects and history, the centerpiece of this work is Clarke's own voice and vision. It is unfortunate that his intelligence and knowledge have not been more generally available until now. One has to applaud the efforts of the filmmakers for offering us the wisdom and insight of a truly important thinker and remarkable man. Enjoy and PASS ON.
