Just checked the vid on Judge
Joe Brown out... A Yoruba Chief grandfather brought to the U.S. That would have to be further
investigated though. DNA marker tests and genealogy studies.

I've been a lover of genealogy and
world history for decades... and I know full well that the last Slave Schooner to ever sail into the Deep South (Alabama) from Whydah, West Africa in 1860, just before the
American Civil War started had aboard Yorubas, a Fon nobleman,
Nupes, etc.

They founded Africatown in
Mobile, Alabama when they could not raise enough money to go back
home to Africa after the American Civil War and liberation. They even spoke their languages and gave their children African names. The
longest surviving male among
them well into the 1930s was a Yoruba popularly known as Cudjo Lewis or by his original name of
Pa Oluale Kosola from the Bante region of Benin Republic.

Why does he need DNA if that is what his grandfather told him? I was close to my grandmother and she told me a lot about her father and grandfather, it's these AROBA that help us understand the history of some people who are claiming to be who they are not.

I think saw a documentary of that story in Alabama and that of a woman who was the last living slave, she always had Yoruba hairstyles till she died.
