African History - Perspective It takes more than a horrifying transatlantic voyage chained in the filthy hold of a slave ship to erase someones culture Maya Angelou Slavery occupies a minor timeframe in the 120,000 years of African history. Africa was an active trade partner with Arabia, and China. Africans have been to China before the European-- not as slaves--but as partners. Africans discovered Europe before Europe discovered us (Islamic Spain etc). The largest empire in Ancient African history was the Songhai empire with its iconic leader Askia. The Aksum empire was the 3rd largest African empire at 1.25 million sq km. History, right now, needs to be put in perspective. -Alik Shahadah + Hakim Adi Pict courtesy Codeblack Life
