Africa has a very interesting history. Are you trying to dispel the European myths of Africa at the time of colonialism? I think today anyone with a brain in their head knows that Africans are just as capable as any other race of peoples. Historical facts point to that many times over.

Ya but we don't learn about a lot of African history in schools, at least I didn't

Neither did I in American schools. However there are many areas they overlooked. My education centered on European and American history with light discussion on everyone else.
Have you travelled many places in Africa? I have spent a lot of time in a variety of countries. The closest however I have been to sub-Saharan Africa is Mauritania.

I would highly suggest you do if you can. The perspective that you will gain will far outweigh what you can read in books and the net.

it would be cool if you added subtitles, for us who aren't that good in English, it makes it easier to follow.

I'll have to agree with the above, you don't speak very clearly. Good video though, I've had some idea that there was civilisation in sub-saharan Africa since I saw pictures of Great Zimbabwe somewhere and bronze sculptures of the Benin in my history book, but I never looked into it further.
