Great African empires
In this episode of “Lumumba’s Africa,” Professor PLO #Lumumba explores the #historical significance of the #African continent, which was the cradle of some of the greatest #empires, including the #Egyptian, #Songhai, #Benin, and #Yoruba empires, among others across the Mother Continent. While these #civilizations flourished, they suffered devastating impacts due to slavery and #colonization. However, some of these #kingdoms, such as the #Zulu Kingdom, #Oyo, and the #Waganda Kingdom, still exist today. The professor #emphasizes the importance of keeping the #legacies of #African kingdoms alive through discussion and #storytelling, as this will help unite Africa and contribute to a brighter future for the continent.

We are almost done with preparing to cross the South Atlantic back to Cape Town. We got our rigging checked and our winches are serviced. We also made an offering to Yemọja and got to experience and celebrate some of the Yoruba religion here in João Pessoa, Brazil.
We’ll be out at sea from Sunday and won’t be able to get any messages or replies except for via our Garmin InReach so please feel free to follow our progress, check the messages we post and get in touch with us on share.garmin.com/mapshare/svTropicalDawn/
