What Does it Mean to be an African King?

“Since magic in Africa was simply another religious means of invoking the aid of a deity, to call their intercessor with God a magician meant that he was actually securing benefits for the people, and that he was indeed the ‘Lieutenant of God on Earth.’ In short, ‘magic’ was another form of prayer, song or dance in the appeals to supernatural powers for help.” - Dr. Chancellor Williams, author of The Destruction of Black Civilization: Great Issues of a Race from 4500 B.C. to 200 A.D.

Ahmadu Tall (Segu, Mali, ca 1833 – Sokoto, Nigeria, 1898), Tukulor ruler and anti-colonial leader of the Tukulor Empire. During the 19th century, the Tukulor Empire became the largest and most powerful state in the Western Sudan.

“As leader he (Ahmadu Tall) consistently displayed considerable courage, energy and military as well as diplomatic resourcefulness in tackling what eventually proved intractable internal social and political problems which were complicated by the ever-threatening presence of French imperialism.” - Dr. B.O. Ọlọruntimẹhin, author of The Segu Tukulor Empire
