Next stop is Senegal. This was a very surreal part of the trip. I visited Gorée island, which was the largest slave-trading site on the African coast for centuries. This was so heavy. You can’t even imagine the horrors faced by the people who were taken from their homelands and sold for hundreds of years. The millions of people who died at sea. I really feel the weight of it. It’s so important to learn our history and to honour the people we come from and live for them. Thank you, Senegal. Everyone I met here was amazing and I definitely need to come back. Can’t recommend it enough 🇸🇳🇸🇳🇸🇳 | Lewis

Cheikh Anta Diop (1923–1986) was a Senegalese historian, anthropologist, physicist, and philosopher, widely regarded as one of the most influential scholars in the field of African history and the promotion of African identity. Born on December 29, 1923, in the village of Diourbel, Senegal, Diop is best known for his pioneering work in the study of African history, culture, and civilization. He sought to challenge the Eurocentric narratives that had long dominated the understanding of African history and instead emphasized the central role of Africa in the development of human civilization.

Diop’s academic journey was remarkable for its breadth and depth. Initially studying in Senegal, he later pursued higher education in France, where he studied at the University of Paris. His academic background was diverse, as he was trained in the natural sciences, including physics, and in the humanities, which shaped his interdisciplinary approach to African history. Diop's work integrated a range of fields, including linguistics, anthropology, archaeology, and Egyptology.

One of his most significant contributions to African scholarship was his argument for the African origins of ancient Egyptian civilization. In his landmark work, The African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality (1974), Diop proved that ancient Egypt was a black African civilization, challenging the anti black theories that often portrayed it as an entity disconnected from sub-Saharan Africa. He used linguistic, cultural, and anthropological evidence to support his thesis, positing that Egypt was an integral part of African history and that African contributions to world civilization were often underrepresented or misrepresented.

Diop was also a strong proponent of the idea that Africa had a rich and complex history prior to European colonialism, which had been distorted or ignored by colonial and racist scholarship. He sought to restore Africa’s history to Africans themselves, arguing for a history of self-determination and pride in African cultural and intellectual achievements.

In addition to his work on African history, Diop made important contributions to the development of Pan-Africanism. He was a vocal advocate for African unity and independence and believed that the revitalization of African identity was key to the continent's progress. Diop’s ideas on African unity were influential in shaping the political discourse of the 20th century, and he was respected by leaders such as Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, who shared his vision of a united and self-reliant Africa.

Cheikh Anta Diop's legacy as a scholar and activist has had a lasting impact on the fields of African studies and postcolonial theory. He challenged the dominant Eurocentric worldview and provided the intellectual foundation for later generations of African scholars and activists. His work has been instrumental in fostering pride in African heritage and in challenging the lingering effects of colonialism on African thought.

Cheikh Anta Diop passed away on February 7, 1986, at the age of 62. His death marked the loss of a towering intellectual figure whose work continues to influence scholarship on African history, culture, and identity. His contributions to the understanding of Africa’s place in world history and his advocacy for African unity remain key elements of his enduring legacy. 🇸🇳

🇸🇳 Sand erupts as two titans clash in the sacred circle. Laamb isn’t just Senegal’s national obsession—it’s where fighters become legends. Before the match, spiritual rituals and talismans; during it, raw power and lightning strikes. When a champion emerges, neighborhoods erupt, and for a moment, everyone shares in the glory. This isn’t just wrestling—it’s where Senegal’s soul comes alive.
