When I first saw this film two years ago I was so deeply moved. It gives me great pride to learn of such noble representatives and keepers of African lore like Dr. John Henrik Clarke. His criticisms are incisive and unbiased, for the most part anyway. In the film however, Dr. Clarke mentions that his left-leaning contemporaries had made no serious study of blacks in the Diaspora. Fortunately, since his time so much more scholarly analysis has been brought to bear on the subject and with it, a great deal more balance in terms of acknowledging the many benefits of a more leftist i.e. socialist approach vs. glossing over the unintended but inherent pitfalls of a purely capitalistic system whose only motive is profit.

We could perhaps best honor his memory by becoming a little bit more expert in the recitation of history ourselves, no. I think he would've liked that. Dr. Clarke, ladies and gentlemen:
