Prof @hakimadi1 was one of the handful of Black academics who encouraged me to pursue a doctorate over 10 years ago - its some what terrifying that @chiuni are trying to erase his contributions &the generation of Black scholars we know a programme like his would inevitably create
📣 The 'MRes History of Africa & the African Diaspora' @chiuni led by the acclaimed Professor @hakimadi1 is at risk.

Enslaved Africans carried the knowledge of indigo cultivation to The Americas, developing production first in Barbados and Jamaica in the 1600s and later in South Carolina in the 1740s. Each of the colonies depended on Africans to develop and process the crop.
A necessary read for everyone working in our sector who cares about people and can make change happen - we need it! 👇🏾
