Why study Africa In French Class?

Here's what some students had to say:

By studying Africa, we can make better relations between America, France, and French-speaking African countries. By better relations, I mean gaining allies, finding places to export and import goods, and to help make our worlds come together. --Joelle

To know the language it helps to learn about more diverse cultures, not just France and places we know about. --Cecile
