@FightsRightsAlways You are right, all this needs to be known, recognized, and absorbed. There's sooo much that has been withheld, suppressed, distorted and erased. There's more on my Suppressed Histories website including the full transcript for the Women's Power dvd this clip is taken from.

Much respect to the beautiful African women of the world. Its a long time coming but African men are going to get our heads out of our ass. We will return to our roots base and understanding the balance of nature. We will throw down the invaders customs religion and ways. We've both been brainwashed and acting in un original African ways.

There is so many of our great queens and we shouldn't forget them.

Queen Yaa Asantewaa, Queen Nzingha, Queen Hapersheput, Queen Nefetari and Queen Cleopatra.

These are our great queens that fought for us, conquered for us and brought us in peace and harmony.

Long live their glory.

@CushiticSomalianMale True. Much more emphasis has been laid on certain peoples, and the extremely ancient wisdom carried by the Khoisan and Twa gets little attention. I have found it difficult to track down information on entire countries such as Somalia and Libya, so little is published about them. Lately I've been finding some of the rock art masterpieces of the Libyans, not so well known as those of the Tassili-n-Ajjer. They're all over the Sahara, some very ancient.
