“To know yourself, you must know your history.” – Dr. Yosef Ben-Jochann
When most people think of Africa, they think of slavery, poverty, or colonization.
But long before chains, ships, or stolen gold, Africa was the birthplace of civilization.
The story of Black people does not begin in bondage—it begins in brilliance.
Before slavery, Africa had empires: Kemet, Kush, Mali, Songhai, Ghana, Axum.
Before colonization, Africa had schools, governments, spirituality, and agriculture.
Before oppression, Africa gave the world math, astronomy, medicine, trade, and law.
The Erasure Was Strategic
To justify slavery, they had to erase the legacy of Black genius.
They destroyed the timeline and started the story with captivity.
But we know the truth — and we’re going back to get it.
