A Heritage of Honour: Stories of African Heroes - Paperback

by Phil Idokogi (Author)

What does it mean to be an honourable man? Do honourable men still exist? I am an African boy growing up in the 21st century; will I ever be seen as a man of honour? Was Africa ever associated with honour and heroism?
From Desmond Tutu, a man of many firsts who broke global barriers to Fela Anikulapo Kuti who wore his uniqueness like a crown and fought against national oppression at the risk of death, to Steve Biko the medical doctor who used his brilliant mind to advocate for and promote social change, Africa has a rich history of strong, courageous and honourable men.
A Heritage of Honour is a historical book detailing some of the exploits of some of Africa's heroes, from the dry Sahara of West Africa to the great grasslands and scrub forest of East Africa, and from the coastline along the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans in South Africa to the coastline of the Red Sea in North Africa. It is a gift to every young boy of African descent.
A Heritage of Honour is a much-needed reminder that we come from a long line of erudite scholars, brilliant inventors, brave warriors and wise leaders who trod the path of honour, defying life-threatening dangers and transcultural barriers It is a reminder that honour is in our DNA and that within every African boy is a superhero waiting to manifest.
