Good morning African Kings and Queens! ❤️🖤💚
I wanted to share this video again because I feel it is very informative regarding the history of the African continent. Detraveling Fotografa does an excellent job of briefly explaining what happened on the continent; before 1619, the trading that started with the Portuguese who built forts/castles/slave dungeons and ended with the British enslaving the people. The continent was all one land, no demarcations, one Africa.
I think it is extremely important to know what happened. This is the information I/we did not learn from the history books. It is my belief and I know a lot of diasporas feel the same way, that this information was purposely kept from us (black people). It was a part of the plan because when we really know who we are as a people we will reject the ridiculous notion that somehow black people are inferior to other races. What a lie that is!
In moving around the country I have seen with my own eyes the strength and resilience of black people, the rich culture and the beauty of the land. God blessed this land abundantly! And I just don’t say that loosely; He really did. Everything needs for mankind to survive around the world is here on this soil; this land and that is not a coincidence. This land is special and deserves to be respected, as well as the people. All countries around the world depend on Africa to survive and now I know why. I understand why the colonizers specifically came to Africa; it is clear. Africa is the backbone to all other nations. And that is a fact.
May our ancestors continue to lead us!
