Before the auction blocks, before the slave ships, before the chains-there were kingdoms, libraries, spiritual systems, architects, astronomers, and ancestors who remembered. The African Origins of African Americans takes readers on a transformative journey across time and space, uncovering the rich, complex, and too-often erased histories of African civilizations before slavery. From the empires of Mali and Kongo to the sacred cosmologies of Yoruba and the science of the Dogon, this book challenges the myth that African history begins with bondage.
In powerful, lyrical chapters, it reveals the cultural brilliance, spiritual depth, and ancestral resilience that shaped the foundation of the African American soul. This is more than a history book-it's a reclamation. A restoration. A return. Whether you are reconnecting with your roots or seeking to understand the deeper legacy of the African diaspora, this work invites you to remember who you truly are.
You were never just enslaved. You were royalty, healers, builders, astronomers, artists, warriors, and wise ones. And now, it's time to come home.
