When a person hears of Africa, they often perceive poverty, diseases and death. But what many people do not know is that Africa is rising as a prominent player in the world.
Last week, Macki Samake, Ph.D., professor of linguistics at the University of Bamako in Mali, gave a keynote adress about the independence of Mali and how it is progressing towards becoming an emerging power in the world. The presentation was part of a week of seminars in the history department at Sam Houston State University.
He explained how important kings died during the struggle for independence. He also said that women played an important role in the struggle, even though they did not fight in the struggle. But instead, the women’s role was to provide moral support and to cook meals and to replenish the men that fought in the struggle.
“Democracy is important in order to succeed,” Samake said. “Mali has taken that road and will be a great nation.”
The keynote address was presented in room CO90 in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences Building to an audience of faculty and students.
The presentation was impressive because people learned about a country that is a model for the rest of Africa. Samake showed that with persistence and patience, Mali will be a great nation.
