The Correctives

Corrective African and Black History

The History You Were Never Taught

Corrective African and Black History repairs 400 years of systematic erasure, misattribution, and reduction. This is not "contributions to world history." This is world history that was stolen, hidden, and rewritten.

What Is Corrective History?

African history has been taught as slavery, colonialism, aid, and poverty. Four words. 200,000 years of civilisation erased.

Corrective history restores what was deliberately destroyed:

Kemet built pyramids encoding the golden ratio 2,000 years before Greece had geometry. The Rhind Papyrus proves Egyptian mathematics was a complete system when Europe was preliterate.

Great Zimbabwe housed 18,000 people in stone walls engineered without mortar, standing for 800 years. Colonial archaeologists lied and said the Phoenicians built it.

Timbuktu ran universities with 25,000 students when Europe was burning books. 700,000 manuscripts survive proving African scholarship in astronomy, medicine, mathematics, and law.

The Songhai Empire controlled trans-Saharan trade routes and operated a civil service when London was a village.

Benin City's walls were longer than the Great Wall of China. The British burned it in 1897 and looted everything that proved Africans built at scale.

This is not "African contributions." This is world history that was systematically misattributed, suppressed, or destroyed.

Why Does Corrective History Matter?

Because the lies cause measurable harm.

Black children taught that they come from nothing develop:

• Identity crisis — no connection to inherited brilliance

• Internalised inferiority — easier to exploit people who don't know their power

• Generational trauma — psychological damage compounding across centuries

The solution is knowledge.

When you know Kemet built the pyramids, Great Zimbabwe engineered stone cities, Timbuktu ran universities, the Ifa system encoded binary mathematics, and African civilisations led the world in astronomy, medicine, agriculture, architecture, and governance, identity restores itself.

This is not about pride. This is about correcting a lie that has caused measurable harm for 400 years.

Who Needs Corrective History?

Everyone.

• Black children deserve to know they descend from brilliance

• Black adults deserve to reclaim what was stolen

• Society deserves to operate from truth, not lies

Corrective history is not "Black history" separate from "world history." It is world history, accurately told for the first time.
