What is African philosophy and the history of Africa?

What is African philosophy and the history of Africa? Do we have African philosophers? In school, we are taught about plato and socrates etc but never does the curriculum mention African philosophers. Why is that?

    One of the earliest known African philosophers was Ptahhotep, an ancient Egyptian philosopher. In the early and mid-twentieth century, anti-colonial movements had a tremendous effect on the development of a distinct African political philosophy that had resonance on both the continent and in the African diaspora.

    African Philosophy is a disputed term, partly because it is not clear if it refers to philosophies with a specifically African theme or context (such as distinctively African perceptions of time, personhood, etc.), or just any philosophizing carried out by Africans (or even people of African descent).

    Our history and records were burnt down along with our libraries and book archives. The colonialists knew he power of our past and tried erasing… they only forgot about oral tradition which is why we know what we know. Though mot much. You have to really look to find it.

    Philosophy is everywhere and just like knowledge, it can not be owned or attributed to one group.

    We were never taught about African Philosophers in school. I know they must have been there.
