Afrikan History Seminar 2012

Ebukhosini Solutions and Amen Ra Institute in collaboration with

other community organizations invite you to celebrate Black

History Month 2011 with an Afrikan History Seminar: “History of

the Ba-Ntu”.

Many South Afrikans are asking themselves; “who are we and where

do we come from?”. As a country grappling with issues around

historiography, the question of identity becomes both pressingly

relevant and highly controversial.
