African people are heavily Christian, and many treasonous older Black people abuse children, undermine children and kiss European ass. The African parents under European rulership is a tool of White Hegemony!!

From 1904 to 2024....100 years of the glorification of the Abuse of African children. From putting African children in Zoos to now putting African boys in dresses and to allowing Europeans and UN workers to go to African and sexually brutalize African boys and girls.

"Blue Note: A Story of Modern Jazz," directed by Julian Benedikt and released in 1997, chronicles the influential history of Blue Note Records. The documentary highlights the contributions of founders Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff, two German-Jewish immigrants who started the label in 1939 in New York. Despite language barriers and limited resources, they recorded numerous jazz legends such as Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, and Thelonious Monk.

The film combines concert footage, rare archival materials, and interviews with musicians and industry figures, painting a vivid picture of Blue Note's role in shaping modern jazz. It emphasizes the label's commitment to artistic excellence and its cultural impact, earning critical acclaim and several awards, including a Grammy nomination for Best Long Form Music Video in 1997 [[❞]](https://www.medici.tv/en/jazz/....blue-note-story-mode [[❞]](https://mubi.com/en/us/films/b....lue-note-a-story-of- [[❞]](https://www.euroarts.com/tv-li....cense/0567-blue-note

African people seem to be lacking a culture. This man would not have been allowed to walk around in Jean Jacaques Dessalines Haiti.

(This one is super long and a bit academic, but covers an extremely broad timeframe and area, and goes much further back than most history books on Africa.)

Fauvelle , Francois-Xavier. The Golden Rhinoceros: Histories of the African Middle Ages. S.l.: Princeton University Press, 2021. (This book covers a lot of topics in African history over a pretty wide area, but isn't overwhelmingly long)

Gomez, Michael A. African Dominion: A New History of Empire in Early and Medieval West Africa. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2019. (Very good book on Medieval Sahelian history)

Parker, John, and David Adjaye. Great Kingdoms of Africa. Oakland, CA: University of California Press, 2023. (This book features articles written by different scholars on a variety of topics from across Africa, and like The Golden Rhinoceros it's not too long. Great place to get a taste of history from across the continent)

Phillipson, David W. Foundations of an African Civilisation: Aksum and the Northern Horn, 1000 BC - AD 1300. Oxford: James Currey, 2012.
