Which historical figures made you pause when you found out they had black ancestry?

[Bonk]

My list:

1. Queen Charlotte (King George III's wife).

2. J. Edgar Hoover (white passing mulatto).

3. St Augustine (he was a Berber from Algeria).

4. And today, I found out on Twitter that, Aleksandr Pushkin (Russian Shakespeare & father of Russian literature), had a Cameroonian grandfather.

Add your list.

Queen Charlotte was black - she was from the black branch of the Portuguese royal family.

What black branch of the Portuguese royal family?


Yalll need to stop trying to force black people into European families when there ain’t any. Black people had our own royalties in our own countries. But some of you don’t think much of them so you invent shyt like this to feel good. Same way they’ll tell you ancient Chinese and Japanese were black
