School officials didn’t want a school named after someone who owned slaves. Presumably it was hurting the self esteem of black students. The school was renamed after some allegedly historic African king, which greatly boosted self esteem among black students.

Any word on how many slaves the black king owned, and how many he sold to Muslim traders?

No, the school officials never said how many slaves were owned or traded by that black African king. He probably gets a pass due to race. When the deleted the name of George Washington school, they were making a political statement about white slave owners, not slave owners of other races or backgrounds.
