Black History Month: Timbuktu Manuscripts


Though this documentary series is far from perfect (it seems to attribute too much of Timbuktu's history to non-African sources) and ignores the much earlier literary history of the African continent (Egyptian hieroglyphics, Meroitic script, Ethiopic, the Libyco-Berber, etc.), it's worth watching.
