Greetings

As an adult, what do you say to your child when they ask: “Mum, my teacher says that the only thing that Black people have ever achieved throughout history is to be someone else’s slave! Is this true?”

What would your response be to this question?

Before The Slave Trade is a radical and thought-provoking short course by Robin Walker starting Wednesday 13th January 2010 to Wednesday 10th February 2010 that covers some of the biggest stories in the ancient and medieval history of African People.

It is envisioned that the course will be wholly introductory to people who are complete novices to Black History. The course covers the development of high cultures in Africa before the coming of the Europeans and mass enslavement, the role of Africans in the early history of Nubia and Ancient Egypt and the role of Black people in the ancient civilisations of Asia, Europe and Central America. All of the classes are highly visual two-hour power-point presentations.

The information itself is designed to inspire, challenge, and to provoke serious thought and discussions.

All of the classes are two-hour cutting edge PowerPoint presentations. The course will run for five weeks, one lecture per week on Wednesday evening from 7.00pm to 9.00pm at PCS Learning Centre, 3rd Floor, 231 Vauxhall Bridge Road, London, SW1V 1EH (5 minutes walk from Victoria Station). The course costs £60 per person. Reading lists and handouts are provided.

Before The Slave Trade is a highly accessible programme that is also rigorous and content-laden. It assumes no prior knowledge of the subject areas, but the adult student is taken through an avalanche of documented information on the rich legacy.

There are many reasons why one may be interested in such a course. Some may wish to study the Black experience in a systematic way. Others may be teachers who need the information to benefit their pupils. Others may be parents who need the information for their children. Some may wish to pursue the subject as a leisure interest. Whatever the reason, it would benefit you to come along.

Please note; places on this course are limited. Places are available on a strictly first come, first served basis and we anticipate that there will be a lot of demand for this course.
