This , we are reminded that to understand where we are going, we must first understand where we come from.

The African Oral History Archive exists to preserve African history in one of the continent’s oldest and most powerful traditions — storytelling.

Through more than 150 in-depth interviews with the people who shaped our continent, the Archive serves as a living record of Africa’s struggles, triumphs, ideas, and identity for generations to come.

Because history is more than memory. It is a map for the future.

What is truth? Everyone claims to know the truth. Is it fixed? Or does it depend on who tells the story?

The question then becomes: whose truth survives history?

Freedom Day is more than a date. More than a public holiday.

It is a reminder of those who fought for freedom — from leaders like Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, Albert Luthuli, Oliver Tambo, and Ruth First, to countless others whose stories are less known, but no less important.

We believe these stories must be preserved and shared. Through our initiatives like the African Oral History Archive, we work to ensure that the voices, memories, and lived experiences behind this history are not lost. And to ensure that the Youth of the continent and the world have access to these stories.

Because freedom was not inevitable. And it must be protected.

For the next generation, remembering is not optional. It is essential.

We remember the past to shape the future.

Remember why Freedom Day is important...freedoms were fought for.
