Meet The Unsung Heroes, Scientist And Scholars Of African Origin by duketunde: 9:55am On Jun 08, 2016
History they say is mightier than the warrior, because the story lives on long after the warrior has died but most historian tell us distorted or entirely cooked up stories like 'Thomas Jefferson United States third President stated in his book "Notes on Virginia" that Africans are intellectually inferior and cannot understand Mathematics' where in the real sense of it and the true story 'Euclid the father of mathematics and of course the world's greatest mathematician of all time is African.

Many of our heroes, scientist, inventors and scholars in Africa are unknown, un-celebrated or given a place in history books because historians hid the facts or painted them as Americans or Europeans.
