History

to be told.

Gedi, like many other great African cities and
civilizations, should not remain hidden simply

because it makes some people uncomfortable
that Africans are finally telling their own
history.

The first time I read about Gedi was in When

We Ruled by Robin Walker. Visiting Gedi to
see what he described was an unforgettable
experience.

In that book, Walker discussed several of such
monuments of ancient African cities scattered
across various regions of the continent of Africa.
Robin Walker as one of the foremost African

historians also has an online course called The
Black Secret where he teaches African history.
