The Black Secret needs the support of the community to help with a very important cause which is dear to our hearts. A revered academic and friend of the founders of The Black Secret, Professor Hakim Adi and his first of a kind History course are under threat of permanent closure. Professor Hakim is the first African Heritage Professor of History in the UK. At Chichester University in 2015 he created the Masters by Research ( MRes ) and PHD courses in ‘History of Africa and the African Diaspora’, of which he is both the Tutor and Thesis Supervisor of both programs.

In July 2023 Chichester University announced it was closing the Mres course and ending Professor Hakim Adi’s employment. This decision was made without any consultant with either Professor Adi or his students. The Mres course is the first and only Master’s course in the UK specifically focused on the subject of African History and the African Diaspora.

A campaign was quickly launched to raise awareness and to resist Chichester University’s discriminatory actions, with an aim to restore the Mres course and to reinstate Professor Adi to his post.

We meet up with Professor Hakim at his home to interview him about what was happening with Chichester University and the campaign to save the Mres course. We spent a good hour interviewing Professor Hakim, covering the importance of saving the Mres program, the benefits that having such a course has contributed to the research of African History in the Diaspora.

This is the full version of the interview were we also had a chance to discussed his early life and career in the field of education and his route to becoming the first African Heritage Professor of History in the UK. So that people could get to know the man, his history, his story, as well as the campaign to save this symbolically significant and practically important course which he created and has run efficiently for the past eight years.
