One of the coolest professors I had in college was from Nigeria. He would probably have nothing to do with his woman.

When I transferred to another college I found that I needed to take a 'multicultural' class as part of the Core Curriculum.

I chose a 'Black Studies' class, being born and raised in Georgia with plenty of black people around. Professor was from Nigeria, way different from the other professor I had. We had to read Frederick Douglass and W.E.B. DuBois, which I didn't mind.

That department is now called 'Africana Studies', not 'Black Studies'. I think it was about 2002 when I took this. Got a B.
