Conqueror Amanirenas: Why Don’t You Know Her Name? | Princely H. Glorious | TEDxOysterbay

Princely’s talk is an urgent call to re-evaluate how we teach and tell African history more completely. He takes us through the story of Queen Amanirenas, a warrior leader of an African nation who defeated Caesar stalling during the early expansion of the Roman Empire. Why aren’t stories like hers taught in our history classes? Why is the history of Africa mostly a history of the conquered and the oppressed?; He interrogates the narrative of African storytelling.
