Let us learn from our past...
Learn from the great people who made our history...
Learn from Kwame N'Krumah in Ghana, the father of Africanism
Learn from Sekou Toure in Guinea, who stood against the colonial French
Learn from Robert Mugabe the hero from Zimbabwe
Learn from Francois Tombalbaye in Chad
Learn from the Malian panafricanist Modibo Keita
And learn from many more of these great people
Learn how they fought for their people
Learn from their courage to stand against adversity
Learn from their vision of Africa
But...
Let us learn from our past...
Learn from N'Krumah who toward the end fall from grace
Let us learn from Toure who became a tyrant
Let us learn from Mugabe who does not want to let go
Let us learn from Tombalbaye who died a dictator
Learn from Keita who died disgraced in a jail
And learn from many more of these great people who did not finish that great
Learn why they did not finish as good as they started
Learn from their mistakes
Learn from what went wrong
They remain the great heroes of our history
But...
In order to build a better future...
Let us learn from our past.

Those men have left a tremendous unfinished legacy. I do not believe any of them have failed rather they are the product of their makers,but I do believe Africa will get there someday.
