i acknowledged that Abram Gannibal was stolen from Africa.  Raised by Peter the Great.  His historical significance to Russia was in the 1700s.

Thank you

I still maintain that Sagbo was not a figure of historical significance. 

I think he is a First in the 20 century for a black man to get elected to a political office in Russia....hence the reference to Obama.

IOW, there was nothing Malcolm X or Martin Luther King Jr. or Barack Obama about him.  Not even close.😎

He An Obama were politicians....they have that in common

 Jean Sagbo's name won't appear on too much of anything in Russia.  The unpaid councilman may not even get added to Russian history books.🤣😎

 That maybe so....but being the first black African man to do so cannot be taken from him.

Right.  Nobody can take the distinction of being the 1st Black unpaid councilman away from him.🤣

 

The questions are 1) do Russians care about him today and 2) will Russians remember him 50 years from now.😁😎
