Destruction of Black Civilization: Great Issues of a Race from 4500 B.C. to 2000 A.D.

Winner of the Black Academy of Arts and Letters’ First Prize for Literature, The Destruction of Black Civilization is a landmark audiobook that reshapes how we understand African history—and ourselves.

Written by historian Chancellor Williams after sixteen years of meticulous research and travel, this powerful narrative offers a bold, uncompromising account of the rise and fall of Black civilizations across Africa. Far from the passive figures often portrayed in mainstream histories, Williams places African people at the center of their own story—builders of empires, creators of culture, and stewards of knowledge.

This audiobook is a direct challenge to the long-standing myth: that Black people have no proud history. Williams confronts this lie head-on, asking: If Africa was the cradle of civilization, how did its people come to be seen as a race with no meaningful past? His answer breaks from traditional narratives, examining how natural forces, foreign invasions, cultural theft, and centuries of imperialism contributed to the systematic dismantling of Black societies.

More than just history, this is a call to mental liberation. Williams shifts the focus from outsiders' influence in Africa to the achievements and struggles of Africans themselves—offering a true account of Black history, by and for Black people. His insights continue to inspire educators, students, and listeners seeking to reclaim historical truth and cultural pride.

Perfect for listeners passionate about history, social justice, and the ongoing fight for identity and empowerment, The Destruction of Black Civilization is not just an audiobook—it’s an awakening.
