 Read the excerpt below before you begin the assignment.

What does the word "Maafa" mean?

Beyond cotton fields and civil rights in the 120,000 years of African history (0.5% of African history). In the last 50 years much has been done to combat the false and negative views about the history of Africa and Africans,

which were developed in Europe in order to justify the Transatlantic Slave Trade and European colonial rule in Africa that followed it. Unfortunately the Eurocentric take on Africa and Eurocentric linguistics has distorted how some African scholars see Africa. Even those claiming to be progressive, discuss Africa as history's perceptual victim—without any agency. Relegated to a simple disparaging color—black or Negroid, without even the ability to define anything in reality—even one's self. But this is how they made Africans into slaves. By destroying/fracturing/interrupting that connection to Africa's great past, and because there is no connection Africans globally have accepted being thugs and ho*es in someone else's society. Pimps and dealers as opposed to Sultans and Kings. Builders of drug networks as opposed to builders of civilization. After all "education" shows Africa as nothing more than a primitive place over run by cannibal savages.
