“There were no Greek philosophers until after Egypt.” – Chancellor Williams
Truth in Ruins
Chancellor Williams pulled no punches in The Destruction of Black Civilization. He challenged the myth that Africa was always poor, disorganized, or without contribution. Instead, he showed how Africa’s greatness was systematically erased—and, in some cases, internally sabotaged.
The Reality Behind the Ruins
- Africa thrived for 6,000+ years with empires, trade systems, and monarchies long before Europe’s rise.
- Mathematics, mining, medicine, and architecture were standard knowledge.
- Africa’s fall was external and internal—betrayals, tribalism, and lack of a united front made colonization easier.
Why This Book Still Matters
To rebuild, we must understand how we were broken.
Williams teaches us that it’s not enough to remember that we were great—we must know how that greatness was lost, and how to protect what remains.
The destruction was never just physical. It was economic, spiritual, political, and generational.
