My guest on last week’s show was the historian Tony Warner.
One of the points he made is that Black people are not aware of our history. This is not just true in the Diaspora, it is true on the Continent as well.
He has travelled to Namibia, Zimbabwe and Kenya. In all of these places, he found that people were unaware of their history because the education system did not tell them about it.
To find out more about Tony Warner’s work, visit Black History Walks.
I asked him how people can start to learn about Black history and he said to start with your own family: interview your parents and grandparents about their lives.

I asked the late Len Garrison, founder of the Black Cultural Archives, how to research family history. You can read his response in Black Success Stories.
This week, my guest on the Success Strategies radio show will be Kwende Ukaidi of the Birmingham bookshop Yemanja.
Yemanja have a very exciting educational and culture programme for Black History Month. To listen to the broadcast on Tuesday at 8 p.m., and to hear recordings of previous shows, visit: http://www.blacksuccess1.com/radioshow.htm
