This has been another incredible journey!
Who knew there were two African countries founded to give a home to the previously enslaved?
As a Canadian, I had no idea about the destructive American Jim Crow laws.
1960 is the year of Africa!
I am loving how beautiful, colorful, natural, and elegantly stylized traditionally dressed African women are, and snazzy the men are.
The story of Africa is worth telling more about!

History is fascinating me so much right now because its the story of us, who we are as a human race. I believe Yuval Harari commented on how humans are so damn interested in what other humans do, and this rings alarmingly true while reading this book! :D
Enthralled awe at the architecture and the faces of Africans- people that my people committed unforgiveable crimes against :(

I like how this book identifies black historical identity as that from a human evolutionary perspective. Rarely do I read a history book, even from DK, that starts off talking about human kind before we became Homo sapiens.
It pits black identity counter to the racist white Christian one.
I'm eager to learn further about what happened on this wide continent! :)
