"Memory is the Active Agent of Collective Social Progress": Randall Robinson on Makeda

www.democracynow.org - "Makeda", the new novel by TransAfrica founder, Randall Robinson, is set at the dawn of the civil rights era. The book follows a young man coming of age in segregated Richmond, Virginia who discovers his roots in Africa through his blind grandfather. ""Sometimes when we think of slavery, we calculate the economic consequence of it," Robinson says. "But we have not calculated the psycho-social consequence of it, unless we factor in the loss of memory which was occasioned by a deliberate and systematic program imposed by those who controlled us."
