I studied architectural design in Cameroon and every architect they taught me was European. Every movement, every theory, every name on the required reading list. The Great Mosque of Djenné, the Moorish arch, Great Zimbabwe never appeared on any syllabus.
Now I am studying management and every economist is Western. George Ayittey, a Ghanaian who built an entire economic framework for African development, has never appeared in a single lecture. Dambisa Moyo, a Zambian economist who argued that Western aid is destroying African economies, same.
Two disciplines. Not one African name in the required reading.
This is not only an architecture problem. It is medicine, law, economics, history. Every field is taught through a foreign lens and when a student tries to think beyond it they are disciplined for it.
We are not behind because we lack knowledge. We are behind because we were taught that ours does not count.
THE 2026 STANLEY CUP FINAL
Jalen Chatfield and K'Andre Miller vs. Keegan Kolesar
(1) (2) Carolina Hurricanes vs. (4) (13) Vegas Golden Knights.
The Carolina Hurricanes finished # 1 in the Eastern Conference, and # 2 in the League, while the Vegas Golden Knights finished # 4 in the Western Conference, and # 13 in the League for the 2025-2026 NHL season.
Keegan Kolesar became the 10th black hockey player in NHL history to win the Stanley Cup when he won it with the Vegas Golden Knights in 2023, and he could win it again with Vegas in 2026, unless he gets stopped by Jalen Chatfield and K'Andre Miller of the Carolina Hurricanes, and they become the 11th and 12th black hockey players in NHL history to win the Stanley Cup. The rest-Grant Fuhr, Eldon Reddick, Dustin Byfuglien, Ray Emery, Jamal Mayers, Johnny Oduya, Trevor Daley, Devante Smith-Pelly, and Madison Bowey. Jalen Chatfield and K'Andre Miller would also become the 2nd and 3rd U.S. born black hockey players to win the Stanley Cup. The first was Dustin Byfuglien with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2010.
It’s a true story about the African queen who did not allow her country Madagascar to be slaved and colonized by the French and the British: the French could not take over Madagascar until she was dead.
