“I attended the Afrkan History series for the first time this summer and have been bowled over by the depth and breadth of the information he presented. This afternoon’s conclusion was exemplary. At my age, it is a joy to learn new things for the first time, and to discover the ancient throughlines that connect what I never knew before to what I do know. I’m immensely grateful \u2014 and so glad that we’re the conduit through which interested people can build this sort of community.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lectures are posted on the Network’s Afrikan History 2026 playlist<\/a> on YouTube. <\/strong>Feel free to view and share with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
