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.
