Thank you for this reminder of the spectacular find at Timbuktu. That Africans could and would have had written history should have been obvious. But I did have a teacher or two who said Africans didn't leave written history. Being that I was in junior high school at the time and unable to disprove them, I felt cowed into silence. But now I'm pleased to see that wrongful history corrected. 

Thank you.
