SUMMARY:The Benin Trust - Unsung African Heroines
DESCRIPTION:The Benin Trust – Unsung African Heroines \nMAINSTREAMING THE UNTOLD STORIES OF UNSUNG AFRICAN HEROINES \nThere can be no doubt that African women have contributed immensely to the development of black history and civilisation worldwide. These unsung heroines are depicted as queens\, princesses\, feminists\, warriors\, activists\, chiefs and leaders of men and movements that resisted the European colonisation of Africa. The names of many of these women should have been chronologically recorded in the annals of African history. This black history month activity will use a workshop\, short docufilm (videography)\, music storytelling and a book to mainstream the untold stories of 20 unsung African heroines. The event is designed to educate the general public on the significant contribution of black African women to the evolutionary history of black civilisation. \nSome of the notable heroines that will be mainstreamed include Queen Nanny or Nanny of Maroons (c. 1685 – c. 1755)\, Queen Idia of Great Benin Kingdom (1504 – 1550)\, Queen Amina Sukhera of Zazzau (now Zaria) (1533 – 1610)\, Queen Yaa Asantewaa Asante of Ghana (c. 1840–1921)\, Queen Nzinga Mbande of Matamba kingdom\, (c. 1583 –1663)\, Tarenorerer of Emu Bay in northern Tasmania (c.1800-1831)\, Harriet Tubman of Philadelphia (1820 – 1913)\, Kaigirwa of Rwanda and Uganda (1850 – 1950)\, Queen Ann Nzingha of the Ndongo and Matamba Kingdoms (modern-day Angola) (c. 1582 – 1663)\, Neithhotep\, the first queen of Kmt (ancient Egypt)\, circa 3200 BCE\, Carlota Lukumí of Cuba (1844)\, Tarenorerer of Emu Bay in northern Tasmania (c.1800-1831)\, Queen Ahmose-Nefertari of Kmt dynasty (c 1570-1530 B.C.) etc. \nNHS Black History Month activities:  \n\nIntroduction to the workshop and a book on “The untold stories of 20 unsung African heroines”\nA short docufilm (videography) mainstreaming the untold stories of 14 unsung African heroines\nAfrican Drumming session\nStorytelling and cultural display\nQ & A Session\n\nAbout The Benin Trust \nThe Benin Trust is a charity registered in England (1116338).
