Yes I wish Angola invested more in this part of their history to improve their ties with the Americas and to create a sense of pride as an ancient hub of Bantu civilization.

I'm a descendant of the tribes and nations who migrated from Angola to present day DR Congo in the 1600s-700s to escape the slave trade. My DNA test revealed a few distant relatives all over the Americas. Yet it took me a lot of effort as an adult to dig into this part of our history and to discover that some of it is very well documented yet little of it is known by the general public in Angola, DR Congo or among afro descendants in the Americas.
