South Africa: Celebrity-obsessed generation forgets its history?
Each of the nooses in this room at the Apartheid Museum near Soweto represents the execution of a political prisoner. As the history of the struggle against Apartheid fades away in the minds of South African youths, it begets a question: The stories of people like Steve Biko and Albert Luthuli, who struggled for a non-racial and democratic society and suffered brutality, exile, prison and in some cases paid the ultimate price, are being replaced by western celebrity and hip-hop pop cultures, a South African marketing company reveals.

Many people world-wide have definitely not heard about the following African Scientists and their works: Charles Drew, Garrett Morgan, George Washington Carver, Benjamin Banneker, Elijah McCoy, Lewis Latimer, Jan Matzeliger, Granville Woods, Fred Jones, Otis Boykin and others. Their names and contributions are so important to science and humanity but long years of institutionalised discrimination and parochial ethnocentrism have made their names appear obscure in our often, monoculturally-focused history. Indisputably, Africans have made significant contributions to various areas of science. In the field of chemistry, Africans have developed synthetic drugs for the treatment of chronic ailments. In the field of physics, Africans have helped to invent laser devices for the treatment of cancer patients.
