Africans discovered America before Columbus—and Emperor Abubakri II of Mali is the proof. In the early 1300s, Abubakri gave up his throne to lead an expedition of nearly 2,000 ships across the Atlantic. Arab historians like Al-Umari recorded his voyages, describing Mali’s determination to explore what lay beyond the ocean. Evidence supports the claim: African crops such as yams and bananas appear in the Americas before 1492, and artifacts suggest cultural contact between West Africa and the New
