The African diaspora refers to the many communities of people of African descent throughout the world.

African history does not begin with slavery, Africa’s contributions to the development of mathematics, astronomy, medicine, architecture, philosophy, civilization, etc. are largely ignored. For instance, many notable Greek philosophers spent years in Africa learning from African philosophers who practiced philosophy long before the rise of Greek philosophy. Africa is home to many diverse countries and cultures, all with their own unique history.
