African history did NOT begin with slavery! Many years of physical, brutal bondage known as chattel slavery, the worst sort of slavery that ever existed, were endured by the descendants of Africans in America. However, a new type of enslavement has spread throughout our culture. The purposeful withholding of African history and the rewriting of history by individuals of European origin to support their self-proclaimed superiority has resulted in mental slavery. Mental slavery also grows due to a lack of knowledge about the correct history of the globe, which is rarely taught in our schools. The truth must be revealed and passed on to future generations.
