Samuel L Jackson, a popular Hollywood actor, has traced his root to Gabon, a country in West Africa, adding that he is originally from Bantu. It should be noted that Bantu is a popular tribe of most blacks in that part of the continent and so it is not surprising that many blacks in diaspora are also of the tribe too. Jackson did not only go to Gabon to connect with his origin, he also got a Gabonese passport, adding that he met the king of the Benga.
He said that his journey of life has become so clear with the meeting he had with the monarch. It should be noted that the Benga tribe are also part of the Bantu group. The popular actor also appreciated the warm reception he received from the Gabonese Ali Bongo Ondimba.
