People of African descent have contributed fundamentally to the literary world. Let’s start with Ethiopia. The Ethiopian bible is the oldest and only complete bible in the world. It is written in Ge’ez which is an ancient Ethiopian language (extract from New Africa).

The country of Mali has a library with manuscripts that date back to the 8th century AD (theafricanhistory.com).

Alexander Pushkin (1799 – 1837) is known as “The Father of Russian” literature and was of mixed race being of African descent.

Alexander Dumas (1802 – 1870), author of The Three Musketeers was also of African descent.

I implore you to read literature of authors of African descent. Of women and men. For example, Marita Bonner (1898 - 1971) An American teacher who was active in the Black Renaissance of the 1920s.
