#37 Black Re-education

Dr. Norman Munroe, a U.S State department Fulbright Scholar and a full professor at Florida International University in the Mechanical and Materials Engineering department. Dr. Munroe described how he was re-educated as a Guyanese-American Black man in Tanzania. He spoke about his visit to one of the wonders of the world, his Christmas experience at Mount Kilimanjaro, his face to face meeting with President Julius Nyeyere, and his escapade in Uganda a week before Idi Amin's coup.
