In which John Green teaches you about Sub-Saharan Africa! So, what exactly was going on there?

Here are some notable articles (of the 44) from the constitution of the Mali empire created in 1235.
-Article 5: - _Everybody has a right to life and to the preservation of physical integrity. Accordingly, any attempt to deprive one's fellow being of life is punished with death. _
-Article 20: - _Do not ill treat the slaves. We are the master of the slave but not the bag he carries. _
-Article 4: - _The society is divided into age groups. Those born during a period of three years in succession belong to the same age-group. The members of the intermediary class between young and old people, should be invited to take part in the making of important decisions concerning the society. _
-Article 15: - _Never beat a married woman before her husband has tried to correct the problem. _
-Article 16: - _Women, apart from their everyday occupations, should be associated with all our managements. _

Mansa musa was incredibly rich, but was definitely not the richest person ever. Julius and Augustus caesar, possibly Genghis khan and king Solomon were wealthier. Also I don't think it's fair to let out that mansa musa was also one of the biggest slavers of that time. Making and selling slaves and employing them in his giant gold mines. That being said taking in the spirit of the time he was a wealthy leader but not necessarily a good one since he spent most of his time travelling instead of staying at home and helping his people

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the objectivity of your presentation, so wholesome, honest, absolutely hilarious. As an African who grew up hand fed the notion that my people's history begun with slavery, this is truly the best gift I could have ever received. Definitely going to share to all my contacts. All the awe and respect from East Africa.

Dr FRANCES CRESS WESLING. research know truth. know thyself. Jane Elliott Caucasian women tells truth about her race. always a hidden agenda by Europeans. It-s intentional not to teach AFRICANS in America about KINGS & QUEENS way before caucasians existed on Earth (mutated Neanderthals)

Oral tradition? What about the libraries of Timbuktu, Mali - which had thousands of books before the transatlantic slave trade?
