The Inspiring Story of Black People in the Origin and Evolution of Medicine and Surgery
 
In this lecture and book launch, Robin Walker author of the 700 page African history masterpiece, When we Ruled www.whenweruled.com  recounts the fascinating history of the origin and evolution of medicine and surgery. He details the contributions that Black people have made from Ancient Egyptian times, during the slavery era and right up to the advances made today by the African Americans.
 
Not only is it a big and fascinating story, The Robin Black 'History Man' Walker  shows that some of the health wisdom of the ancients is still relevant and beneficial today and he gives detailed examples!
 
Come along and discover
  • The true origins of penicillin and tetracycline in the Ancient Nile Valley
  • Just how widespread the smallpox vaccine really was in Ancient West Africa in pre-slavery times
  • The role of African Americans in the evolution of hormone replacement therapy and synthetic medicine
  • African midwifery, C-sections and child care pre-European invasion and the so-call civilising mission
 
Robin Walker will also be launching his new book series: Blacks and Science

Lecture, Discussion and Book Launch”
 
Sat 26 October 5-8 pm
 
(Previously sold out. Repeated by popular demand. This event is pay-on-the-door first come, first served)
 
In the Black Community, it is increasingly recognised that civilisation itself began in Africa. However, mainstream scholars continue to teach that civilisation started in the 'Middle Eastern' regions of Iraq and Syria ( referred to as Mesopotamia/Sumer in ancient times).
 
In this presentation,  scholar Fari Supiya, and Robin Walker author of the 700 page African historical masterpiece 'When We Ruled' www.whenweruled.com   will present new and cutting edge research that identifies who the ancient people of Iraq and Syria actually were.
 
For the record, they looked nothing like the people who dominate those regions today!
 
Is this yet another example of a Stolen Legacy?
 
Come along to our lecture, discussion, and book launch. You will find out:
  • How sickle-cell in ancient populations shows up in the skeletal remains
  • How a computer programme used by US police department forensics allows us to identify and classify ancient skulls by ethnic origin
  • How the languages spoken by ancient populations allows us to identify which modern populations they are related to.
  • Plus update on the present Syria situation from  a black history perspective
 
This event is history-in-the-making. We are presenting revolutionary NEW research and we are LAUNCHING three new books Black Sumer: The African Origins of Civilisation, and Black Sumer: The Physical Evidence 1 and 2. This research on the Middle East is just as important and revolutionary as the work conducted by Diop and Obenga on Ancient Egypt.
 
We not only PROMISE to rewrite history, we are ACTUALLY DOING IT!

"I wanted to tell you that the lecture given by BHW at the Imperial War Musuem on 26th July was brilliant! When I came home, my parents were really excited about how much I had learnt...my Dad has always enouraged me to get a full picture of British history and until the lecture yesterday I hadn't fully realised how much of a void there is in the British History that is readily available at schools and Universities.
  
I am a student at Lancaster University and I study the First World War but I knew nothing about the involvement of Black British Soldiers! " Faye Grimes
