The Ancestors' Altar of Remembrance

A sacred roll call of the African nations taken by the Maafa — the Igbo, Yoruba, Bakongo, Wolof, Mandinka, Akan, Fon, Ewe, and Mbundu peoples, the surviving witnesses who left their testimony, and the Wall of Nations. They were not statistics; they were nations of extraordinary sophistication, and their names live in the DNA of their descendants.
