Podcast Episode: Chapter 9 African History to 1500

African civilizations are more diverse than anywhere else in the world. Yet the general, western understanding of Africa is slim. Africa has faced a number of environmental challenges that have limited population growth, but it has still fostered great empires such as those in Ethiopia (Aksum), the western Sudanic empires, and south Africa. In this episode, Lise Namikas interviews Prince Lobo, owner/manager of Addis Nola restaurant in New Orleans, Louisiana.
