MOTHER AFRICA BUILT EUROPE AND AMERICA

Would the West as we know it be possible without Africa? When you think about the extent to which European and American societies depend on African resources, it becomes clear that our continent is the foundation stone for much of the world. As Pan-African scholar PLO Lumumba puts it in this clip, Mother Africa ‘built’ the world - and keeps on building it! Problem is, Mother Africa has been enslaved, robbed and exploited. She is more than ready to help people and societies beyond our continent to realise their potential, but on her own terms - from a position of respect, equality and dignity.
