Greetings Black Secret Progressives, 

This January, we have a very special lecture presentation for you, entitled ‘Unlocking Powerful Black History’. African History has been deliberately misrepresented and undermined by Western Institutions and Museums who have suppressed important facts and details about the sophistication and advanced production method used by various Continental African Civilisations. This has the intentional effect of giving the general public the misguided impression that Pre-Colonial Africa was ‘primitive’, ‘backwards’ and less advanced than other parts of the world. 

  

Robin has uncovered important new information and evidences that showcases just how sophisticated African production methods really were, that both challenges and exposes the ‘distorted’ narrative that many Western Institutions and Museums have deliberately ‘curated’ to present Africa in a lesser light. This lecture is not to be Missed! 

 

Veteran Broadcaster onboard with The Black Secret 

 

We have joined forces with veteran broadcaster and podcaster Chuck Penn, who in his time has interviewed the likes of Dr Yosef Ben-Jochannan, John Henrik Clarke and Prof. Manu Ampim amongst a gallery of many other luminary figures. In the 1980’s and 1990’s Chuck had his own cable network show where he went out of his way to get ‘the truth out there’. Chuck has become a ‘Black Secret Progressive’ himself, as he sees and understands the substantial value we have to offer, and he is actively putting the word out there about The Black Secret to the online conscious community.

 

We have lined up an exciting programme of lectures and interviews with Chuck in the lead up to February’s Black History Month. The first of which is going to be our lecture presentation of ‘Unlocking Powerful Black History’.

 

Check out what Chuck has to say about The Black Secret and our forthcoming programme of events!

About this Lecture 

Many years ago, historians discovered that African Civilisation History could be written using African art. Some of the art pieces were of technological value that used advanced metallurgical or mathematical techniques in their composition. Others stored great economic value as wealth and knowledge preserving assets. Others were simply works of inspirational beauty and refinement. 

However, much of this art is in London institutions. How did these art pieces end up in London? How much wealth is Africa missing by these pieces being in London and not in Africa?
