Mashpee Mother Bear’s Message: Decolonize Your Mind
They Came Before Columbus: The African Presence in Ancient America was originally published in 1976 by Dr. Ivan Van Sertima, receiving much criticism and controversy from the scholars of the day. The book offers detailed documentation of the presence of Africans in ancient America that precedes the time of Christopher Columbus by thousands of years.
Of Water & The Spirit: Ritual, Magic and Initiation in the Life of an African Shaman by Malidoma Patrice Somé is a book which gives the Western (American/European) reader a rare glimpse into the realm of African spirituality as seen through the first hand experiences of an African man.
But what if I told you that there were Africans in the Americas that got here BEFORE the time of slavery? What if I told you that there was evidence that the African presence in America goes back for thousands if not tens of thousands of years before a slave ship was ever built? What if I told you that the first Americans were Africans, and that there is documented proof?
