"The true African

historian must be on a

relentless search for

truth and must not

tremble with fear when

that trust is contrary to

what one would prefer to

believe." - -Chancellor

Williams, author of

Destruction of Black

Civilization

"The first step in

liquidating a people is to

erase its memory.

Destroy its books, itsculture, its history, Then

have somebody write

new books, manufacture

a new culture, invent a

new history. Before long

the nation will begin to

forget what it is and

what it was. The world

around it will forget even

faster......The struggle of

man against power is the

struggle of memory

against forgetting." -

Milan Kundera
