4. The Kingdom of the Kongo - at its best, and at its worst

In this episode we see how the Kingdom of the Kongo survived in the
ebbs of flows of international and domestic conflicts, as well as
some of the horrific effects of slavery.   We see the
Kingdom flex its power on the international stage but ultimately
wither as a defeat allows an opportunity for others to take its
power and resources.  But in this adversity a voice of hope
emerges which was to provide strength to the oppressed in their
time of need.  This voice resonates through the ages
today.
