Hayes, III The contemporary Black educator has an enormous challenge. One of his prime tasks must be the research, resurrection, and dissemination of information about the long suppressed contributions Africans (in Africa and the diaspora) have made toward the development of world civilization. It is transparent from extant literature that traditional academic disciplines, mainly the social sciences, have given a distorted representation of the African experience and reminiscent of Rudyard Kiplings poem The White Mans Burden, have until recent times characterized the Black man as half-devil and half-child,1 waiting in the darkness of ignorance before the coming of the European to bring the light of western civilization and culture. Additionally, most western scholars until recently have falsely maintained that Africa made little substantial contribution to the evolution of world civilization. For instance, Greece is praised as the original foundation of world culture, the development of the Arts and Sciences, while the fact that the development of Greece was strongly influenced by Africa is ignored. It must not be forgotten that the Greeks did not carry culture and learning to Africa, but located them there.2 Generally speaking, little of Africa is known except on the issue of the slave trade. More than anything else, the legacies of slavery and colonialism have been devastating to African peoples, and the effects of these human institutions linger on. Probably the most painful legacy of European oppression was the systematic Miseducation of Black people in Africa and abroad).
