we look at how africans and african-americans shape the world as well as by a nation. we look at how they were shaped by the landscape and shaped the landscape. it's important to point out economically, geographically as well as culturally and intellectually. what's very important for people to understand is throughout this museum we look at these stories that are american stories. they're human stories and they're told through the african-americ african-american lens. equally important to remember this is shared history and you'll see yourself throughout this exhibition particularly looking at that human experience. let's start with one of the opening labels for the freedom exhibition. right behind me is label that speaks to the making of the atlantic world. we actually feature the story of the queen, one of leaders along the african coast. she was in west central africa. she actually strategically aligned with the portuguese, the dutch and the church all in an effort to avoid her own people being enslaved as well as being involved in the is slave trade. but you'll no

we saw that ugly face, well, not xenophobia, but afrophobia, where africans turned on other africans, be they nigerian or somali, they trashed their property and businesses and people were fearful for their lives. what did you feel? that song we played earlier is about migrant workers. it is a legacy of cecil rhodes and british colonialism, originally when they brought indigenous africans to south africa, they could only come in as endangered servants of migrant labour and they were segregated from the south african indigenous population, living in single men's hostels. the community was manipulated into thinking otherwise. you blame the old apartheid system and white colonial rule for the attacks that we saw? because that might not wash with everyone. i blame them for chaos across the world. you have said africa's problems are cultural. in 20 years, when my grandchildren ask who i am, i will say, it is rumoured we were once africans long ago. you feel africans are denigrating their own culture? the conquest and defeat of africans over the years, urbanisation, mis—education, politic

we cannot go further in this project of bringing the nation back together until african amend -- african-american men could vote in the same terms as white men. and this is something that southern whites revolted at. they thought this was completely unfair. it undid the white supremacist order that many of them deeply, deeply believed him. in many communities african-americans were the majority. so the apex, and in some ways, the most radical idea that got implemented during reconstruction is the right to vote, and we need to understand in a moment when so many people get to vote -- it is dramatically about reconstruction and that is a crucial moment. that was followed by an act in 1870 that said that states cannot discriminate voting on the basis of race. host: and yet with all of that, are we still battling the civil war? are we still fighting that war? dr. masur: idol think we are exactly fighting the civil war. but some of the same conflict that divided americans in the 19th century continued to be with us. it's no surprise, and away, we would still be talking about the legacies of slavery, t

the africans, through the continental africans, as well as the african—americans, i think that is just really u nfortu nate. will the african union be seeking an apology? donald trump has denied making derogatory remarks, but the white house has not been unequivocal in its denial, and i wonder if you will be seeking clarification and also if it is indeed the case that he used that language you will be seeking an apology? absolutely. we will be looking to having a conversation with the state department. and requesting for clarification on that matter. but also it's important that there is a better understanding of the africans by the administration. that's my role, to make sure that our relationship with the united states is a power. and it is my responsibility to clarify any mistakes. i definitely will be reaching out to the state department for a conversation. it's interesting because you have said and are saying that there is a vast misunderstanding of africa within trump's administration. is that because there has been a change of administration? or do you think it is an ongoing mis

no the african media should be as strong as that as well so whose responsibility is it is it african news outlets the african media that need to depict africa in a better way or should western media outlets do a better job perhaps of researching and doing things differently i guess is both definitely both but i mean if you are trying to talk about an issue you should research and make sure that you review this issue in the right way now i want to reach you a comment here by one of our viewers may be flecks on twitter who says i'm probably african and i believe in pan african is in but sometimes the word used by president is true why do african leaders go and borrow money from foreign countries he says and steal the funds back to their foreign accounts so he's saying basically that african leaders have a responsibility in the way africa is depicted in africa is represented by these western navies it is definitely a but we really have to think who brought these african leaders to power who supported these african leaders to begin with and what made africa into the state that it is toda

they set up businesses and shops. 1780, a group of africans come thether and they formed free african union. it does three important things. it raises money, saves money to educate africans. it would also raise money for proper burial. the oldest and largest existing african slave burial ground in america is here in need -- in newport, and many of those markers are paid for by fellow africans. they wanted to reclaim their african identity, so many and eventuallys through the room church would reclaim their african names and customs. and that would be very much in place in newport throughout the 18th and into the early 19th century. this is important because of the fact that today there are at least 30 buildings or historic structures from the colonial area -- colonial era that are directly related not only to africans who were enslaved, but more important, were africans owned property, plighted trade, worshiped, or taught children. this is more than a vocation or a study. family on my mother's side, we date back over 10 generations in newport. ancestorsr newport did not look like geor

donald trump speaks to africans frankly. africans need to solve their problems. you can't survive if you are weak. it is the africans' fault that they're weak. we are 12 times the size of india, but why are we not as strong? does he have a point? >> well, he has a point. but his response to president trump is sarcastic. but at the same time he's raising a very important point, basically saying trump is embarking on h posture because of our own weakness. let us deal with our own weaknesses, let us improve ourselves. if president trump wanted his message, if that's what he meant, to be an effective message, he only needed to say is we want to work with you as countries that are underdeveloped so that we can help each other, you develop and we also get some prosperity. so there's a positive way of putting the message across. >> and i can't let you go without asking you about a massive and impending major crisis in capetown, which is the center of your tourism, your wine industry, what flock to south africa for, and that is an impending drying up of your water supply

if it is in the interests of south africans, then it would mean that the decade—long rule ofjacob zuma, where we have seen accusations of cronyism, the corruption, the economy going down, it is obvious, it is a no—brainer, he has to go as soon as possible. would you be so kind as to spell that out and say, yes, i agree with you, zeinab? no, no. i agree that what we should do, we should ensure that the growth that would be engendered by this new era coming should happen, and it should happen so that it advances the people of our country, and therefore, my task as president of the anc, together with my other five colleagues who are part of the top six, is to manage this transitional period. we have been mandated by the national executive committee to navigate around this matter. it is a delicate matter. you have said that his exit is to be handled with delicacy, and that it must not be dealt in a humiliating fashion, that he should not be sacked in a humiliating way, nor should he perhaps face a protracted impeachment process in parliament. yes. so what is the nature of your negotiatio
