Salvador, the capital of the state Bahia, was the first capital of Brazil.
Slavery was common in Brazil until it was abolished in 1888. Today, Salvador has the largest population of African-Americans in any city out of Africa. Ancient African rhythms transformed to the present day samba. A good look at the people and culture of this community.

This is a two-minute video is about the Ghana empire, located in West Africa. It tells how it became a wealthy empire because they were in the center of the caravan routes and taxed other Muslims, during the gold-salt trade. The people of Ghana didn't want to adopt the Muslim religion, but later on, the desert Arabs invaded their territory and forced them to practice the Muslim religion, or else they would be killed.

This six-minute video is Pangaea is the conspiracy that all the seven continents were actually touching, and was nicknamed a super-continent. Currently, Africa and South America are repelling each other in distance, and India is coming into the Eurasian plate, which results in a raise of the Himalayas' elevation. There were many other super-continents, but Pangaea was "here" around 250 million years ago. Extinct species' fossils could be found when our continents' were actually touching, maybe 250 million years ago. This video shows what happened and tries to help the students understand better by reversing the action using animation. Good insights. (05:37)

At age 14, in poverty and famine, a Malawian boy built a windmill to power his family's home. Now at 22, William Kamkwamba, who speaks at TED, here, for the second time, shares in his own words the moving tale of invention that changed his life.
William Kamkwamba, from Malawi, is a born inventor. When he was 14, he built an electricity-producing windmill from spare parts and scrap, working from rough plans he found in a library book called Using Energy and modifying them to fit his needs. The windmill he built powers four lights and two radios in his family home. After reading about Kamkwamba on Mike McKay's blog Hactivate (which picked up the story from a local Malawi newspaper), TEDGlobal
Conference Director Emeka Okafor spent several weeks tracking him down at his home in Masitala Village, Wimbe, and invited him to attend TEDGlobal on a fellowship. Onstage, Kamkwamba talked about his invention and shared his dreams: to build a larger windmill to help with irrigation for his entire village, and to go back to school. Following Kamkwamba's moving talk, there was an outpouring of support for him and his promising work. Members of the TED community got together to help him improve his power system (by incorporating solar energy), and further his education through school and mentorships. Subsequent projects have included clean water, malaria prevention, solar power and lighting for the six homes in his family compound; a deep-water well with a solar-powered pump for clean water; and a drip irrigation system. Kamkwamba himself returned to school, and is now attending the African Leadership Academy, a new pan-African prep school outside Johannesburg, South Africa.
Kamkwamba's story is documented in his autobiography, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Creating Currents of Electricity and Hope. A short documentary about Kamkwamba, called Moving Windmills, won several awards last year; Kamkwamba and friends are now working on a full-length film. You can read the ongoing details on his blog (which he keeps with help from his mentor), and support his work and other young inventors at MovingWindmills.org.

The west coast of Africa was formerly called the Gold Coast for its rich mineral resources. But in the 1700s, the slave trade made human life the most profitable commodity. Now more than 25 structures - castles, fortresses, and trading posts - dot the coast as a reminder of the terrible crimes of our past, in the hopes that they will never be repeated. (01:10)

This fast-paced 1:18 long video explains that in 500 B.C., Sirus the Great led the movement to build an empire that led from North Africa to the Black Sea regions and part of Western Asia. This empire was later destroyed and turned into ruins after Alexander the Great defeated the Persian Empire. Some achievements from the Persian Empire include money, the creation of postal service, and the first charter of human rights. The video has some good images, but it is at best a quick overview to prepare the students for a more in-depth study. (01:17)

Video accompanied with text. "After Yorktown, the citizens of Britain tired of the war in the American colonies. They were also greatly in debt and had suffered immense losses in India, the West Indies, Asia, and Africa. In February 1782, the House of Commons voted against continuing the war, and in March 1782 Lord North resigned, ending the rule of King George III. The new ministry included old friends of the Americans and was headed by Lord Rockingham who was prepared to negotiate a peace settlement with America. Three American peace negotiators appointed by the Continental Congress gathered at Paris: Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and John Jay. The representatives had explicit instructions from the Continental Congress to consult with their French allies before finalizing any peace negotiations..." The delay caused by the French and Spanish ended in 1783 when the treaty was signed.
