Quoted By:
subsaharan Africans had great cities, artwork, and music in ancient and classic time periods. They didn't reach the greatness of Asian or European societies, but were still impressive given the difficult environment. European colonialists in the 1800s destroyed and plundered these societies to steal their riches and destroy the morale of their people to become servile. It's no surprise that these people are the ones who wrote the history books you have learned from.
