I’ve never heard this before. Humanist as opposed to religious? Why Africans specifically?

I feel like everything I’ve heard about the cultural practices of American slaves from Africa (which is not much) is very suspect. Do you have any reading recommendations? Articles ideally.

They weren’t afforded cultural practices. Their culture was erased by renaming, splitting families, preventing speech of native language, refusing their ability to learning to read the language of slaving colonizers. There was no choice- the alternative was pain or death.

Try tracing the lineage of a Black American sometime. It stops dead in its tracks somewhere between 1940-1960 where they didn’t bother tracking births or deaths of Black folks in the South, and you will never identify more than “West Africa” from a DNA test site.
