Ancient Africans were architects of civilisation - Dr. Anthony Browder Thursday, 27 September 2012 20:49

STUDENTS and lecturers of the University of Guyana (UG), as well as secondary school students and members of the general public were treated to a lecture on African history by American author, publisher, cultural historian, artist and educational consultant Dr. Anthony Browder, last Tuesday afternoon at the Education Lecture Theatre of the UG Turkeyen Campus.

Browder’s lecture, entitled ‘Black History: Lost, Stolen and Restored’, filled the theatre to capacity, with persons even standing throughout the Dr. Anthony Browder’s entire lecture.

Browder’s lecture, entitled ‘Black History: Lost, Stolen and Restored’, filled the theatre to capacity, with persons even standing throughout the entire lecture. The crowd seemed

very enthusiastic about learning parts of their history that are not normally told, and eagerly participated in a question and answer episode. Browder said he had always had an interest in history, but had found that he learnt very little of his own history while growing up. He has consequently dedicated his life and work towards spreading the history of his African ancestors. Dedicated to Guyanese authors George G. M. James and Ivan Van Sertima, Browder’s lecture was based on the premise that ancient Africans were the architects of civilisation, and had developed the rudiments of what has become the scientific, religious, and philosophical backbone of Mankind. Browder is a graduate of Howard University’s College of Fine Arts, and has lectured extensively throughout the United States, Africa, the Caribbean, Mexico, Japan and Europe
