Good find Xyyman I was a bit taken by the header title of the thread, and skimming through the tread something about 9kyrs ago made my heart skipped a beat until further reading..but a good find all i n all ,a forerunner of Black Queens,Edie Murphy's Prince Akeem, from Coming To America would not be displeased..
But who was she tho.

If it was dated to pre-colonialism(trans -Atlantic slave) it would be NOT be disclosed. Trust me! They deflected when they said her relatives spent all that money burying her because they feared small pox contamination. But for the whites……they were “elites”. Shrugs….”Europeans!! and their lies and spin”
