Trawling The Net As I Do, I Came Across The Remarkable Story Of Yasuke, The Only Known African To Hold

Trawling the net as I do, I came across the remarkable story of Yasuke, the only known African to hold the title of 'Samurai' under the service of feudal warlord Oda Nobunaga. There's a great article about him on Wikipedia but also check out a website called 'AfricaPublic' which is a great source of information on him. FYI, the picture posted is not him, more an interpretation of what he may have looked like on the battlefield. #history #yasuke #theblacksamurai #samurai #blackpeopleinhistory #poc
