In This Episode:
Welcome to Black History Month!
Usually what people celebrate during this period are the achievements of African-Americans after the slave trade, or how they persevered through the slavery.
However, a lot of people do not know about the great things and great people that lived in Africa before the slave trade.
So in honor of this year's celebration, we have decided to take you back in time to the days before slavery. The days of the African Kings and Queens, the Black History we should never forget to celebrate as well.
