Before Episode One, meet the man telling the story. Mr. Black History took a DNA test, and what Ancestry sent back wasn't a pie chart — it was the map of this entire series. Eighty-eight percent African across twenty-two peoples: Igboland (16%), the Gbe peoples of Benin (9%), Western Bantu and forest peoples (9%), Hausa and Fulani, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Yorubaland, the Mandé world of Mali and Senegal, Cameroon, Liberia, Zimbabwe, the Luba of Congo. His blood covers nearly every coast the slave ships loaded from — the Bight of Biafra, the Gold Coast, the Slave Coast, the Windward Coast, Kongo and Angola. His Gbe nine percent comes from Dahomey's coast — where some sold, and some were sold, and he comes from that ground either way. And twelve percent of him is England and Ireland — in his blood through the plantation world this series exists to name. "I am not a tour guide. I am a descendant, reading his own file out loud." This is Episode 0 of The Taking, a 35-episode series on the slave system. Start here, then go straight to Episode 1: Home. Follow Sankofa Chronicles — and send this to one neighbor whose blood might be a map too.
