The careful and serious study of African history, from antiquity through the present era, reveals a deep genetic linkage: from ancient Egypt’s impact on the culture of the rest of the African continent to the unity of all African languages, African history is one continuous, unbroken narrative of a people with shared consciousness. Even discontinuities, changes, and failures belong to the continuity of African history. History is, after all, the record, of the concrete reality of life, and includes all experiences. Afrikans, from classical times to the present, belong to the same cultural universe, linked by the same traditions.[i]
