At the Heart of Modernity: Africa and Africans with Howard W. French

What happens when you consider the origins of modernity and center Africa rather than Europe? Howard W. French’s book, “Born in Blackness,” explores that very question as he investigates the forgotten history of how Africa and its relations to the Western world played an integral role in the development of the modern world. Moderated by Lanisa Kitchiner. For transcript and more information, visit https://www.loc.gov/item/webcast-10524
