[Monika]

When my ancestors were brought over here from Africa, they were stripped of all of their ‘Africaness’. So much so that four hundred years later, we still cannot trace what part of Africa we are from. Most black Americans have tried to find their roots but thorough records were not kept in the 1600’s so a good majority of us have no idea. Does it bother us that we have no connection to Africa? Of course, but nothing can be done about that now, so why pine over it. I would love to know where in Africa my ancestors, but, right now I know for a fact that I was born here. I love this country.
