Students,
Today we took notes on African history. We discussed the importance of the Bantu migration south and used it as an example of cultural diffusion and cultural convergence. We discussed the emergence of Islam in Africa due to trade with the Middle East. We also talked about the growth of early African empires in the Niger river area (Mali / Ghana) due to its wealth in gold and trade connections in North Africa.
We also introduced European Colonialism, which will come back to haunt you during your Sophomore year in World History.
