Ghana Empire - The Land of Gold...

Rolf Hedger

The Ghana Empire, also known as Wagadou, emerged as one of the earliest and most influential states in West Africa. Situated in the Sahel region, between the Senegal and Niger rivers, it thrived in an environment that was both challenging and advantageous for settlement and expansion. The Soninke people, who founded the empire, played a crucial role in establishing a political and economic system that allowed Ghana to dominate the region for centuries.
The origins of the Ghana Empire can be traced to the migrations and settlements of the Soninke, a Mande-speaking group, who gradually organized themselves into small communities. These communities initially relied on agriculture, herding, and local trade but soon recognized the value of the trans-Saharan trade routes that passed through their territory. The strategic location of Ghana, near valuable gold deposits and trade routes, allowed it to grow into a powerful state. The Soninke clans, under the leadership of a ruling dynasty, established centralized control, which set the foundation for the empire’s expansion.
The political structure of early Ghana was based on a hierarchical system, with the king, known as the Ghana, at the top. The title "Ghana" was both a royal designation and a symbol of authority. The king served as the supreme leader, making key decisions related to governance, trade, and military strategy. His power was reinforced by a council of elders and advisors, often drawn from the nobility and influential families. This system enabled stability and continuity, which contributed to the long-term success of the empire.

The Importance of Being Urban -...

David A. Gamson

From the 1890s through World War II, the greatest hopes of American progressive reformers lay not in the government, the markets, or other seats of power but in urban school districts and classrooms. The Importance of Being Urban focuses on four western school systems—in Denver, Oakland, Portland, and Seattle—and their efforts to reconfigure public education in the face of rapid industrialization and the perceived perils of the modern city. In an era of accelerated immigration, shifting economic foundations, and widespread municipal shake-ups, reformers argued that the urban school district could provide the broad blend of social, cultural, and educational services needed to prepare students for twentieth-century life. These school districts were a crucial force not only in orchestrating educational change, but in delivering on the promise of democracy. David A. Gamson’s book provides eye-opening views of the histories of American education, urban politics, and the Progressive Era.

African Americans in the...

Lt. Col. (Ret.) Michael Lee Lanning

At first, neither George Washington nor the Continental Congress approved of enlisting African Americans in the new army. Nevertheless, Black men—both slave and free—filled the ranks and served in all of the early battles. Black sailors also saw action in every major naval battle of the Revolution, including members of John Paul Jones's crew aboard the Bonhomme Richard. At least thirteen Black Americans served in the newly formed US Marine Corps during the war. 
 
 
  
Bravery among African Americans was commonplace, as recognized by their commanders and state governments, and their bravery is recorded here in the stories of citizen Crispus Attucks at the Boston Massacre; militiaman Price Esterbrook at Lexington Green; soldier Salem Poor at Bunker Hill; and marine John Martin aboard the brig Reprisal. 
 
 
  
As interest in colonial history enjoys renewed popularity due to works like Hamilton, and the issues of prejudice and discrimination remain at the forefront of our times, African Americans in the Revolutionary War offers an invaluable perspective on a crucial topic that touches the lives of Americans of every color and background.
