John Henrik Clarke: A Great and Mighty Walk - (DVD)
http://authors.aalbc.com/john1.htm#John
This video chronicles the life and times of the noted African-American historian, scholar and Pan-African activist John Henrik Clarke (1915-1998). Both a biography of Clarke himself and an overview of 5,000 years of African history, the film offers a provocative look at the past through the eyes of a leading proponent of an Afrocentric view of history. From ancient Egypt and Africa’s other great empires, Clarke moves through Mediterranean borrowings, the Atlantic slave trade, European colonization, the development of the Pan-African movement, and present-day African-American history.
“...compelling…this look at an important though little-known African-American leader deserves to be seen. Recommended for large black history collections.” - Video Librarian
“Clarke’s insights are challenging, thoughtful, and excellent starting points for class discussion. The work, like its subject, is organized, scholarly, and substantial." - School Library Journal
"...a veritable tour de force, plotting history from Africa’s ethnographic presence, dating back to the early Egyptian dynasties to the Million Man March...The film is equal parts Baptist sermon and history." - New York Amsterdam News
