Angolan King Tchongolola Tchongonga Ekuikui VI, of Angola's Bailundo kingdom, has visited the community of Camorim in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
His visit confirms the connections between the descendants from escaped slaves who formed Camorim and this ancient African kingdom.
Camorim maintains the traditional practices of dance, religion and plant medicine, which can be traced back to the African kingdom.
Three to five million Africans were shipped to Brazil as slaves, and Brazil was the last country in the Americas to abolish slavery in 1888.
Today, people who identify as Afro-Brazilians make up 56 percent of the population.
Rural communities like Camorim are known as 'quilombos'.
They were formed by escaped slaves.
Quilombos are home to over 1.3 million people in Brazil.
Urban quilombos have developed to combat the rise in racism in Brazil.
Although Afro-Brazilians represent over half of the population, they hold only a small minority of Congress seats and executive posts within business.
While Afro-Brazilians are the largest population of African descendants outside Africa itself, they face the highest rates of poverty and discrimination.
King Ekuikui VI's visit reminded nurse Marilene Lopes de Jesus of her history and helped to boost her self-esteem.
