In perusing YouTube, I was pleased to see that TED has its own channel. And looking through the many wonderful videos, I clicked on this video of Chris Abani. He provides an excellent lecture, at least titled on YouTube, "Learning the Narratives of Africa." Take a look. 
I wanted to share a couple of things that I've found over the past few days. One is a video is from TED of Hans Rosling. Normally I would run screaming from someone spouting numbers, but this guy has a great way of visualizing data that simply astounds me. And I love what he says when he speaks about AIDS in Africa, because the distribution of wealth WITHIN countries is stark, so solutions must be HIGHLY contextualized.
Another tidbit that I wanted to share is a writer who has written far more eloquently than I about the RED campaign and Africa. Her article for the American.com has drawn some fire, so I will include a link to both the article about the RED campaign and her response.
Africans to Bono...
