It started with the project to collect the real stories of the real players what does it means the most important period of history of South Africa. ... very exciting project because it is not only about South African,it's about for the rest of African continent.And all of generations africants students have to know where they go, to understand where they come from. Unfortunately, History involuntarily talks about only victories, the future generations don't have to forget opportunity of both side of history. The African oral history archive ... living testimony from people, involving, creating stories. the future genrations can make up their minds, they can compare views of point, they can get inside human being, they create, involve in reality and to come on all understand their real story. The African oral history archives ... several hours of real stories, stories normally which have not been told. Visually, now to expend these archives, to make living their archives,archives that they'd live forever."
