African-Americans DO have a Holiday for themselves--its called CHRISTMAS. Mark went to Africa first to convert the peoples of that land. (The Copts of Egypt and Ethopia are from this apostle) There were more Christians in Africa than Eyrope in the early years. Jesus is for all men not one race over another.

Ditto... AND the Ethiopian Orthodox Church one of, if not the oldest church in Africa (that goes for ALL of Africa) where many can trace their roots back Solomon. That's why there are plenty of Levi's and Solomon's and Cohen's in Ethiopian directories.
BUT SO WHAT if a lot of black people are christians because somehow their slavemasters were? That's how a lot of black slaves got their freedom in case Karenga didn't know. Revisionism is terrible.
