Steve- She is not saying that every African brought to America was a king or queen. What she is saying is that there are plenty of people of African Descent who were kings and queens.
I never learned anything about the people of Africa until after I left high school. From the way we are taught in school you would think that all of the slaves brought here were 'savages'. They weren't. They had their own traditions, languages, and systems in place.
I'm glad you recognize that our high school educations are seriously flawed. You were lucky enough to learn stuff the right way after you left high school. A lot of people don't get that opportunity!
