Third World History When someone mentions the state of Africa the first thoughts that enter your mind is poverty, poor government structure, and hungry people. But that has not always been the case.

Mr. Lillis’s AP World History is known across my school for its brutality and time consumption, but still draws over 50 sophomores into its claws each year.
