At the 2025 commemoration of Nigeria’s Independence, we joined Montage Radio 99.7 FM to highlight the importance of teaching history as a foundation for national growth and global contribution.
We applauded the reintroduction of History into the Nigerian school curriculum and emphasized the need to present it in diverse formats that resonate with all generations. At Shades of Us, we continue this work through our #TeachAfricanHistory and #RememberAfricanHistory tags on social media—sharing daily snippets of significant moments in our collective past, and encouraging our audience to reflect on the many strokes that paint the picture of who we are today.
History shapes identity, resilience, and vision. The more we document, preserve, and teach it, the stronger we become as a people.
