California Named After a Black Queen-Oh yeah!

•  

               California-Sunny Bright, Crowded California!

Where the celebs are, where the motion pictures

are made! The biggest mansions! California!

            Well it was stated on a website by DR.

KWaku PErson Lynn, these California facts:

•          44 people who founded the City of Los Angeles,
•        26 of them were African descent.
•       What is not taught in California schools is that majority of  the founders of  San Francisco, San Jose and San Diego were  of Afrikan descent. Also, Orange County, Beverly Hills,

and Malibu were once owned by people

of Afrikan descent. ( I wonder what other interestings

I should know about Black history. Well I’ll find

out soon enough! I’m going to study everything black history)

            The state of California got its name from

mythical Black Queen Califia.

          (Califia, Califia, it has a ring to it) The Picos are known

as Black Brothers who speak  Spanish.

           

   The genesis of the name begins with a story read

by Spanish  explorer Hernando Cortez.

           The island has:

•   bold and croggy rocks.

• weapons  composed out of gold.

• gold and precious stones.

•          Queen Califia - ruled the island.

•           John William Templeton, California historian and  author of the four set Volume set “Our Roots Run Deep: The Black Experience in California. Templeton started his journey of searching the history of California through a conversation with a San Francisco Radio Host.

                 California facts:

• IT was 4 black governors of California.

• It’s an island where only Black Women lived.
• THe women-the most powerful women in the world.
