Harper. Africans from Nigeria, Benin, Mali and other places were enslaved and sent to America. Some Africans ran away and lived with the Seminoles and indigenous peoples. An Abolitionist named Robert Goodloe Harper, purchased a number of slaves, freed them. The Africans took on the last name Harper. Some remained in America, others went back to Africa and established Harper, Liberia.
Thank You for creating & sharing this 🕊

Beautiful but most of us are not from Africa. Most of us are the offspring of the first inhabitants of Turtle Island now referred to as USA. We’re the indigenous Niijis misclassified as now as the early 1960s as black Americans after the Power Power Movement. And in the early 1980s African Americans
