Thinking and Rethinking the Global African Diaspora, Pan African Heritage World Museum, Accra, Ghana

The Pan African Heritage World Museum will be located in Accra, Ghana, and will allow Africans and African Diasporans to tell our own stories in our own ways for our own purposes and benefits.

My virtual presentation, Thinking and Rethinking the African Diaspora, which was shown several times during the three-day inaugural conference, August 5-7, 2021, focused on seminal African and Afrodescendant contributions to the creation of the Americas and the Atlantic World.

Thinking of those albeit involuntary contributions requires a rethinking, a fundamental reconceptualization, of the role of the commerce in African lives that forced 12-15 million African people across the Atlantic Ocean to use their African knowledge systems to foster the development of the new societies of the Americas.
