Tell them of Great Zimbabwe, bordered by the port of Rapta & how they built a kingdom from bricks and iron, traded with Portuguese circa 11-15th AD.
It’s ruins were so massive that the German who “discovered” it declared that natives lacked the sophistication to organize thusly.

Teach them of Kilwa Kisiwani that was built from underwater corals and then plastered over, far back at 9th century AD. The architecture was quite similar to that of contemporary Europe and Ibn Batuta who visited in the 14th Century described its mosque as a wonder of the world.

Teach them of the great Songhai Empire, Benin Empire (which had an embassy in Portugal and Oba Ewuare who exchanged letters with the King of Portugal), and Mansa Musa of Mali who built some of the biggest African libraries and universities in the 1300s.

Don’t be quiet, tell them of how African empires minted their own money & organized their economies & civilization uniquely. Remind them that Africans were building great pyramids when Europe wasn’t even a thing (Egypt and Sudan; whose pyramids are 2000 years older than Egypt’s).

For the life of me, I don’t know why this doesn’t form a large part of African education. Why aren’t kids taught of how great their progenitors were before the white men came to tell us we are nothing?
