DID YOU KNOW...

Africans were the first cowboys. Yes, you read that right, COWBOYS!!!! Originally, cowboy meant an African who worked with cattle. One of the first major contributions Africans made to North American society was in cattle raising. The Fulani (or Fula) people from Senegambia were expert cattlemen and when imported to South Carolina in 1731, increased the cattle herd from 500 to 6,784 with a grazing technique that is still used today throughout American cattle industry.


Hmmm, so I guess the idea of Django Unchained isn't that far fetched after all.
