One of the greatest inventions for African Americans, as far as I am concerned, is the genealogy test that has been discovered. It gives the average Black, who has been separated from his origins, an opportunity to know who he/she truly is. It is one thing to know that you were not created a slave of American capitalism, but also to have concrete evidence that you originated from a specific or a combination of specific places in the land of God’s creation – Africa.
While every other race can trace their lineage to a specific ethnic group or some combinations, most Blacks in America can only trace their roots to their place of historical bondage in America. I believe this invention will make America more dynamic and more prosperous, as Blacks in America begin to build better ties with their origins in terms of education, travel, trade, and investments. The gradual return of the capitalistic slaves to their God given origins will be one of the greatest phenomenon the modern world is yet to witness and comprehend. The success of American slaves rising from shackles to global business leaders will be the crowning moment of the “Trans-Atlantic” American dream.
