this book is a history of pre-historic African Kingdoms and Empires, the forced and voluntary migration of Africans to North America, and contributions of African Americans to the building and economic success of the United States. Our nation’s schools have settled for a sanitized history of its foundation, but America is now at a pivotal moment when there is a lot of interest in understanding its true history. This book illustrates how African history is intertwined with and foundational to American history.
