Obviously this is news to me. care to validate?
Exactly where did this happen?

"The first Catholic missionaries had come to Central Africa from Portugal in 1458. But the first Protestant mission was not established until the 1792 - the Moravian Brethren in the Cape."

Livingstone "landed in Cape Town, in modern South Africa, in 1841."

these gotdamn missionaries were christianizing our assess at the same time as they were enslaving us. please, dont just make some statements from the air. shit like this you gotta validate your claims.. just speaking from east and south african, it was the german lutherans, the quakers, the catholics and protestants (brits, scots, the dutch etc etc) taht established christianity.

For you to sit here and try and claim that african americans had a signficant impact in christianizing africa to me, is ludicrous. unless you think a small segment of africa makes "significant." and even if if you are talking about sierra leone and liberia,
"Sierra Leone was a British colony to which freed slaves returned in the late 1700's. They formed a social class which hardly integrated with the indigenous people." -from cry freetown.

even that is questionable.
