Robin Walker 'The Black History Man' was born in London but has also lived in Jamaica. He attended the London School of Economics and Political Science where he read Economics. In 1991 and 1992, he studied African World Studies with the brilliant Dr Femi Biko and later with Mr Kenny Bakie. Between 1993 and 1994, he trained as a secondary school teacher at Edge Hill College (linked to the University of Lancaster). Since 1992 and up to the present period, Robin Walker has lectured in adult education, taught university short courses, and chaired conferences in African World Studies, Egyptology and Black History. The venues have been in Toxteth (Liverpool), Manchester, Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield, Birmingham, Cambridge, Buckinghamshire and London. Since 1994 he has taught Economics, Business & Finance, Mathematics, Information Communications Technology, PSHE/Citizenship and also History at various schools in London and Essex. In 1999 he wrote Classical Splendour: Roots of Black History published in the UK by Bogle L'Ouverture Publications. In the same year, he co-authored (with Siaf Millar) The West African Empire of Songhai, a textbook used by many schools across the country. In 2000 he co-authored (again with Siaf Millar) Sword, Seal and Koran, another book on the Songhai Empire of West Africa. In 2006 he wrote the seminal When We Ruled. This was the most advanced synthesis on Ancient and Mediaeval African history ever written by a single author. It was a massive expansion on his earlier book Classical Splendour: Roots of Black History and established his reputation as the leading Black History educational service provider. In 2008 he wrote Before The Slave Trade, a highly pictorial companion volume to When We Ruled. Between 2011 and 2013 he wrote a series of e-books for download sold through Amazon Kindle.
