Over the years, I have shared information about the accomplishments of Africans that largely go unrecognized and overlooked due to a deliberate campaign to suppress, obfuscate, and ignore African people and our history.

African Genius and Originality

 For example, few people know Africans were the first boat builders, https://keyamsha.com/2019/09/07/the-8000-year-olddugout-canoe-from-dufuna-ne-nigeria/ the first navigators of the rivers and lakes in African who later circumnavigating the world.

https://www.ancient-origins.net/history-importantevents/did-ancient-humans-acquire-nautical-knowledge-sailing-prehistoric-megalakes-021434 Celebrating African and Black history during the

shortest month of the year is counterproductive, even though we need the exposure. We should celebrate African/human/world history all year long, daily because it is an integral part of human history.

Let’s look at the things we take for granted that began and were invented and developed by our aboriginal African ancestors. Africans developed the concept of family as an organized social as well as a biological unit. The family formed the basis of African social organization and culture. Africans recognized the importance of blood connections and used those blood connections, what we call families, as the core foundation of their group, tribe, clan, and society. Leadership and governance were based on the family or clan.

While animals have instinctive ways of determining leaders, for example, the proverbial "alpha male," humans developed specific methods to create formal leadership and governance. On the most primitive level, leadership was conducted by group consensus through elders who had life experiences and served as leaders because of their direct connection to their ancestral family members. These elders, were charged with not just wisdom and guidance in daily affairs but also with propitiating the spirit realm, serving as intermediates between the family members, the forces of nature, and the invisible energies they perceived all around them.
