When African American historian, writer and critic John Henrik Clarke died in July of last year, his passing embodied the popular saying that when a wise man dies, a library burns down. Fortunately, Clarke left behind volumes of his teachings on thousands of years of African and world history, a legacy that will remain long past his death.

As we prepare to enter a new millennium, Dr. Clarke takes the listeners on a walk through five previous millenniums in this excerpt from the documentary “A Great and Mighty Walk.” The documentary was directed by St. Claire Borne and produced and narrated by actor Wesley Snipes.
