The Only DNA Test For People of African Descent. The truth of who we are was taken from us over 400 years ago. We lost languages, cultures, histories, and legacies during the Middle Passage.

The way media portrays people of African descent says a lot about how they’re valued—or disrespected—by those in power. One cartoon from the U.S. and another from the former Soviet Union highlight stark differences in how Black people and Africans were viewed.
