    Abstract If Africans and members of the African diaspora learn that the history of Africa is not just of despair and poverty, but of wealth, they will be uplifted and manumitted(liberated). This is true for all scenarios. Knowledge is power and the more you know the more powerful you are. That’s why slaves weren’t taught to write and that’s why authoritarian regimes keep their people ignorant. Our history is proud and extremely vital not only to us but world history.
