Opinion: When Black Lives Matter, By Toyin Falola

It is time for us to look within ourselves, to identify and find ways to bring an end to black-on-black tragedies, the debilitating effects of centuries of oppression that have had us revelling in the role of victims and kept us from many respectful achievements. Let us, in the Pan-African spirit, find a common ground to launch a ‘black’ offensive against every obstacle that has stood in the way of the peaking of ‘black’ endeavour. Black matters should matter to all Africans.

Toyin Falola is a Distinguished Teaching Professor of History and the Jacob and Frances Mossiker Chair in the Humanities at the University of Texas at Austin.
