That's just preposterous. I can barely find information about my own ggg-grandfathers in England and Germany and those were advanced civilizations with extensive written civil and church records. In Africa, there was no written language and nothing but oral traditions and stories passed down. This is just a silly feel-good story to MAYBE keep the lunatics from destroying the statue.
This would have been in the U.S., not Africa.

And in Africa most of their time was spent scavaging for food and catching flies to eat off each other’s faces and other fly covered areas.
Remember when Barack went there the flies loved landing on that pile.
In most areas they still haven’t learned to feed themselves or purify water. Even after thousands of humanitarian missions.
