A very interesting article, and well written. I wish you had paid more attention to the educational efforts of Catholic orders, like the De la Sallians. They left behind a legacy of high educational standards for black people. I am told that even  today the relatively good education standards in Zimbabwe owe much to Catholic schools. It is rather a paradox that education, the best weapon against inequality and racism, came to Africa via the colonial collaboration of Christianity (not only that of the Catholic church).
