We have been filled with images of slavery in America and across the world, but why is it that this chapter in black history was skipped?

Gods be good, why would any man ever want to be king? when everyone was shouting King in the North, King in the North, I told myself…swore to myself…that I would be a good king, as honorable as Father, strong, just, loyal to my friends and brave when I faced my enemies…now I can’t even tell one from the other.
