This is another bitter fact that is always hidden from us. Some give the credit to Peary who was also a member of the expedition which reached the North Pole but the fact is Henson reached there before Peary did. Peruse through Wikipedia for more information on this.

Google gave their version about Aga, but at least there is some information on him. Tried to search by Wikipedia, not even the name is mentioned in the English version. But in other languages, French and Italian he got his credits.

𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗔 𝗝𝗨𝗟𝗜𝗔 𝗛𝗔𝗬𝗪𝗢𝗢𝗗 𝗖𝗢𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗥 (1858-1964)
Anna Julia Haywood Cooper was a writer, teacher, and activist who championed education for African Americans and women. Born into bondage in 1858 in Raleigh, North Carolina, she was the daughter of an enslaved woman, Hannah Stanley, and her owner, George Washington Haywood.
In 1867, two years after the end of the Civil War, Anna began her formal education at Saint Augustine’s Normal School and Collegiate Institute, a coeducational facility built for former slaves. There she received the equivalent of a high school education.
Anna Haywood married George A.G. Cooper, a teacher of theology at Saint Augustine’s, in 1877. When her husband died in 1879, Cooper decided to pursue a college degree. She attended Oberlin College in Ohio on a tuition scholarship, earning a BA in 1884 and a Masters in Mathematics in 1887. After graduation Cooper worked at Wilberforce University and Saint Augustine’s before moving to Washington, D.C. to teach at Washington Colored High School. She met another teacher, Mary Church (Terrell), who, along with Cooper, boarded at the home of Alexander Crummell, a prominent clergyman, intellectual, and proponent of African American emigration to Liberia.
Cooper published her first book, A Voice from the South by a Black Woman of the South, in 1892. In addition to calling for equal education for women, A Voice from the South advanced Cooper’s assertion that educated African American women were necessary for uplifting the entire black race. The book of essays gained national attention, and Cooper began lecturing across the country on topics such as education, civil rights, and the status of black women. In 1902, Cooper began a controversial stint as principal of M Street High School (formerly Washington Colored High). The white Washington, D.C. school board disagreed with her educational approach for black students, which focused on college preparation, and she resigned in 1906.
In addition to working to advance African American educational opportunities, Cooper also established and co-founded several organizations to promote black civil rights causes. She helped found the Colored Women’s League in 1892, and she joined the executive committee of the first Pan-African Conference in 1900. Since the Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA) and the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) did not accept African American members, she created “colored” branches to provide support for young black migrants moving from the South into Washington, D.C.
Cooper resumed graduate study in 1911 at Columbia University in New York City, New York. After the death of her brother in 1915, however, she postponed pursuing her doctorate in order to raise his five grandchildren. She returned to school in 1924 when she enrolled at the University of Paris in France. In 1925, at the age of 67, Cooper became the fourth African American woman to obtain a Doctorate of Philosophy.
In 1930, Cooper retired from teaching to assume the presidency of Frelinghuysen University, a school for black adults. She served as the school’s registrar after it was reorganized into the Frelinghuysen Group of Schools for Colored People. Cooper remained in that position until the school closed in the 1950s.
Anna Julia Cooper died in 1964 in Washington, D.C. at the age of 105.

The human race is of African origin. The oldest known skeletal remains of anatomically modern humans (or homo sapiens sapiens) were excavated at sites in East Africa. Human remains were discovered at Omo in Ethiopia that were dated at 195,000 years old, the oldest known in the world.

At about 35,000 b.c a group of African/Nubian Chinese, later known as the Jomon, took this route and entered Japan, they became the first humans ever to inhabit the Japanese Islands. Later another group known as the Ainu followed just a little bit of history for you all.

𝗩𝗜𝗖𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝗤𝗨𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗘 𝗔𝗗𝗔𝗠𝗦 (1912-2006)
Victorine Quille Adams was a Baltimore Public School teacher, business manager of the Charm Center, founder of the Colored Women’s Democratic Campaign Committee, co-founder of Woman Power, Incorporated, and the first African American Baltimore City Councilwoman. She was a native Baltimorean whose contributions sought to improve political participation, economic opportunity and equity for all.
Born on April 28, 1912, to Joseph Quille and Estelle Tate Quille, she graduated from Frederick Douglass High School in 1928 and Morgan State College in 1940. After graduating from Morgan State, she entered the segregated Baltimore Public School system as a teacher. In 1943, Adams became one of five women who chartered the National Council of Negro Women, Baltimore section. These women were influenced by Mary McLeod Bethune, founder of the national organization, who was nearby in Washington, D.C.
In 1946, Adams founded the Colored Women’s Democratic Campaign Committee which encouraged black women to register to vote and recruited them to run for public office. Their efforts resulted in the election of two African Americans firsts–attorney Harry A. Cole as the first African American in the Maryland State Senate in 1954, and Verda F. Welcome as the first woman state senator in Maryland in 1962. Welcome was the first black woman elected to a state senate anywhere in the nation.
In 1948, Adams opened the Charm Center, the only black owned and operated clothing store for women in Baltimore. Through the store, she created Project Beauty and Charm, which was a six-week course offered to women over 18. Project Beauty taught its students to improve their poise, charm, and appearance.
Ten years later, in 1958, she and Ethel P. Rich co-founded Woman Power, Incorporated to mobilize black women for political action/ power, community involvement, and educational commitment. They believed that every woman could teach something and every woman could learn something. Men were welcome to join the Minute Men, an affiliate of the WP. Two notable male members were Carl Murphy, the publisher of the Baltimore Afro-American newspaper, and Willard W. Allen, owner of an insurance company.
In 1966, Victorine Adams ran successfully for the Maryland House of Delegates. She resigned after a year and won a seat on the Baltimore City Council, becoming the first black woman to serve on that body. During her tenure, she created the Baltimore Fuel Fund, a public-private partnership that raised money to provide impoverished families financial assistance for heating costs. The Fund was replicated in other cities.
Early during her career, she married William Adams on July 28, 1935. Their union produced no children, however, their philanthropy provided a number of African Americans the opportunity to pursue higher education. On January 8, 2006, Adams died from a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the left parotid gland. She is buried in Arbutus Memorial Park in Arbutus, Maryland. She was 93 at the time of her death.

Ndugu M’Hali or Kalulu (ca. 1865 – 28 March 1877) was an African slave and adopted child of the explorer and journalist Henry Morton Stanley. Kalulu died young but in his short life he visited Europe, America and the Seychelles. He had a book dedicated to him, a model in Madame Tussauds, and was a guest at Dr. Livingstone's funeral.

They look completely different, some look exactly like what mainstream media portray as "Asians" and the other ones look exactly like Black Africans. But they descend from the same lineage and both are Asians. But the second one which is the original Asian people is hidden.
European scientists love to use haplogroups and words like middle east, Eurasian, Asiatic etc, to hide the Blackness of ancient people. Today they associate these words to haplogroups and knowing that most people associate these same words to pale skin and modern populations in the regions, it allows them to play with our perception of reality, of history and of the world without us noticing it. So, it is not a lie but it is also a lie...
It is not a lie to say that a certain haplogroup originated in Asia, but at the same time it can become a lie because people don't know that the original people of Asia, those these scientists usually talk about, looked exactly like Black people from Africa and not like the modern population we see today.
The proof that it started with Black people is in the fact that there is always a Black version which is usually older than the other ones. You will find them if they have not been exterminated or completely assimilated by the late groups.
These Haplogroups are not representative of what people looked like. That's what we must keep in mind when we study history. Usually our appearance is adapted to our environment. For example Australia is located in the southern Hemisphere, so the indigenous people from that region are supposed to be Black people.
Those who are not Black, came from somewhere else. That's the way it works. In Africa that's the same thing. Those who came from the Sahara are supposed to have very dark skins because there were no shelters back in the days, and people did not have clothes like today. Without a lot of melanin, you die. That's what most of these people who try to claim things in ancient Africa don't understand. The weather was even hotter back in the days.
Another good example is to see the royal outfit of pharaohs. They were shirtless with a short kilt. Evidence that they had a lot of melanin knowing the weather in that region. We have many examples like this who expose the lies we are being taught.

Queen Dowager Rosalie Gicanda was the wife of Rwandan King Mutara III Rudahigwa. After her husband died in mysterious circumstances in 1959, the Rwandan monarchy lasted only two more years, under the leadership of King Kigeli V Ndahindurwa and then coming to an end with the Rwandan Revolution in 1961.

Muhammad Ali, born January 17, 1942, in Louisville, Kentucky, had an amazing boxing career, winning the World Heavyweight Title three times. Throughout his boxing career, Ali won a total of 56 fights and lost 5, with 37 of those wins being knockouts.
He was named after a White abolitionist
Before becoming known as Muhammad Ali, he changed his name to Cassius X
His career started after a missing bicycle. Ali was 12 years old when he met Joe Martin, a police officer in Louisville in October 1954. He had gone to report that his bicycle was stolen. The future boxer told police officer Martin that he would beat the culprit when he or she is found. Martin, also a boxing trainer, told an angry Ali that he must first learn how to fight. The police officer became Ali’s boxing teacher and about six weeks later, Ali won his first bout in a split decision.
He got more money from the gloves he used to defeat Liston than the fight itself
He starred in a Broadway musical and recorded an album
Ali was married four times and had Irish roots
Ali stopped a man from jumping to his death
When on Monday, January 19, 1981, police officers, a psychologist and a chaplain failed in their bid to dissuade a man from jumping to his death, Ali saved the day. On the day, a young Black man in flared jeans and a hoodie was perched on a ledge on the ninth floor of a high-rise structure threatening to jump to his death. Ali’s friend, Howard Bingham, who upon seeing that all hope was nearly lost, called Ali. The boxer arrived at the scene, spoke with the suicidal man for about 20 minutes, and was able to persuade him to climb down.
He was jailed and served food to death-row inmates
He wore a parachute on a plane because he was scared of flying
