Welcome One & All!
Hello to everyone interested in our shared history! After all, African history is world history. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting hundreds of people and had intriguing discussions about the hidden parts of American history. Why is it that we rarely, if ever, learn about the contributions of Black, indigenous, women and working class people? Hmmm 🤔. It’s almost as though it’s on purpose ( • ᴗ – ). For anyone wanting to learn about the entirety of American history and how it ties back to Europe & Africa, I hope you find this a useful resource. I’ll continue to add more as I learn more, so check back soon.
