Black History Notes 2019

  It's been a long while since I posted anything for Black History Month but, here are some more info for you all to enjoy reading:

1. All Africans & African-American people have a biblical history written in the Bible.
2. Before Christopher Columbus sailed to North America, Africans, Phoenicians, & Native Americans were here first. California was discovered with African & Native Americans already living here with the descendants of the Phoenicians & people from Asia(around 900 B.C.).
3. During slavery, the Cherokee Tribe was the largest tribe to take in runaway slaves. They intermarried & had children over the course of 400 yrs., which is why African-Americans now have Cherokee blood running through their veins(a whole lot!). Do blood test through Ancestry.com. We also fought in wars against the U.S. Army together. Reason for the split? The U.S. government saw that they were losing the wars against the Native Americans & decided to come up with a plan to split the African-Americans & the Native Americans by coming into the camps by pretending to be peacemakers & lie on the Blacks about what was happening in the camps when they were at war. The Native Americans bought the stories & it created a war within the camp. The U.S. Army's plan worked & the relationship between Blacks & Native Americans was over, only to put the Native Americans on Reservations. Other Native American tribes also took in African-American slaves, too, only to have the same thing happen to them.
4. Mozart & Beethoven were African-American men who moved from America to Europe to pursue their music career in composing music. They were rejected here in America during the Roaring 20's(Harlem Rebirth) because of being Black & none of their albums were not selling on the market in the White community. They weren't the only ones. A lot of Blacks moved to Europe to pursue their careers in fashion, photography, performing arts, & many other talents.
5. Chocolate & coffee were actually cultivated & traded in Africa. The Queen of Sheba(Makida), had just traded imports & exported spices, sugar, coffee, & chocolate to the people of India & Asia Minor when she met Solomon on a journey to Ethiopia.
6. R&B(Rhythm & Blues), Rap, Hip-Hop, Soul, Blues, Gospel, Jazz, & music to put you in the mood for love all came from Africa. Solomon had over 900 wives & 700 concubines! How did he do it?...By singing to them!! Read the whole book of Song of Solomon in the Bible.
7. King Rhamses also had about that many wives & children! I guess he learned from Solomon!!
8. In Kemet(now Egypt) Black women were prized for being very curvy. The more bigger they were, the more they were worshiped & made queens. So ladies, embrace your curves. Being thin is a European thing!!
9. The Greek Zodiac is actually African. Egyptian women were the ones that taught astronomy as well as math, science, & philosophy. They taught the Greeks this, too.
10. Greek Mythology is also African. All the stories about Zeus & Triton were African characters with their names changed to Greek to fit the Greek culture.

  This is some of the Black History notes that I have to share with you. As you can see, our history did not start in America. We had kings & queens that ruled kingdoms & had universities, libraries, & stadiums for sports & games. Black women had their children & raised them with knowledge of their  history & people. Schooled them in arts & crafts, taught them how to be future kings & queens, taught their sons how to be husbands to their wives & vise versa, & taught them how to raise their children, their future generation.
