This was a powerful presentation from Robert and Abraham. They are both extremely knowledgeable about the history of their counties.
It is fascinating how natural resources (gold, ivory, even slaves), geography (climate, harbors, barriers), and 'foreign' politics shape the culture and religions of a country.
It was partiuclarly interesting to hear the story of Philip Quaque who became neither Anglican in the English education sense nor a native once he went back to his country. It almost seems like reverse racism that once he was educated and had an English (white) wife, he was no longer one of his own people.
