Last week Mrs. Trina V. Toles and I were having a lively discussion with the African graduate students who work at the Margaret Walker Alexander National Research Center and Mrs. Toles suggested we needed more discussion and exploration of international issues, especially in regards to the continent of Africa. At the Center the following African countries are currently represented: Ghana, Nigeria, and Tunisia. In the past we have had students from Cameroon and Gambia as well. I recommended we read the classic African novel, Things Fall Apart by Nigerian author, Chinua Achebe. Things Fall Apart is a great jumping off point for our discussion of both African history and current events. Please join us both online and an actual meeting TBA.
