Hi welcome to my website 
I want to thank you for sharing the culture and history of Africa and its various communities. I am from American and as I am sure you know and I have recently come to know we lack all truth in our past or our present so it is refreshing to learn of truth because I feel the history of your people is part of all of our histories😆. We are all one ultimately we are all the same. I wish we could all recognize this very important fact of the human race. Thing like apartheid would not exist.
