Dele Ogun owns Lawless Publications and is the author of several books for the London-based company, including “⁠A Slave Ship Called Jesus⁠” and his latest release “⁠Culprits: The People And The Paper That Made Nigeria⁠.” Port of Harlem magazine has published excerpts of both books. His organization, The Fatherland Group, will sponsor a week-long academic forum during the 140th anniversary of the four-month long Berlin Conference at the University of Lagos in Lagos in November. 

On the latest Port of Harlem Podcast, we talk about the one thing where we differ and the two on which we agree as it relates to his books including the roles of Africans in the Atlantic Slave Trade, the role of Haitians in the liberation of all African people, and on a lighter note, how Blacks can identify themselves. Most specifically, I asked him if I can follow his lead with a twist and say: I am an African in Gary.

After years of service at Price Waterhouse Coopers LLP and in practice with Hogan Lovells LLP, Ogun founded his law firm, London-based Akin Palmer LLP, where he has served for over 21 years. He also has a practice in Lagos, Nigeria.
