Many have been conditioned by the idea of feel good history, rather than an understanding of history that can be applied for present day problems. So what good is history if you cannot use it to understand the propaganda wars raging across the globe? What good is history when yet another assassinated leader falls victim to media lies in a hail of bullets? What good is history when after all the Holocaust we do not recognize the multiply faces of oppression when it strikes? And what good is history if people have not learned that sowing the seeds of ethnic and religious disunity only serves destruction? How do we make a better future, free from the errors of the past? By educating humanity in compassion and tolerance. Let the Afrikan Christian learn about the Afrikan Muslim. Let the Xhosa, learn about the Zulu, let Ethiopia make friends with Eritrea, Let Afrikan Caribbeans, Afrikan Latinos, Afrikan Americans, Afrikans etc as brothers and sisters. Difference does not mean enmity. And true Pan-Africanist is humanist first, and utterly reject sowing the seeds of division and repeating the failures of the past
