African Centuries Behind House Handy
Code Black blitz Phase 2–3: Upper Guinea/Senegambia corridors (Mandinka, Yalunka, Wolof, Bambara), Futa Jallon, Kaabu, Segou, Kongo context — confidence-labeled, not fake royal DNA.
Method
Same architecture as the Code Black genealogy blitz: intake of the documented Handy spine → ethnic corridor matching (corridors.py + Hall/SlaveVoyages priors) → centuries of African kingdoms as context → explicit non-claims (no single tribe proof, no Israelite enrollment).
Primary corridor
CORRIDOR_LA_DOUCET_UPPER_GUINEA (1760–1810): Mandinka (Kaabu) 30%, Yalunka/Jalonke (Fouta Djallon) 20%, Wolof 20%, Bambara/Segou 15%, Fulbe 15%. Ports: Gorée, Saint-Louis, Bissau → New Orleans → Opelousas/St. Landry. Confidence: MEDIUM–HIGH for corridor class, LOW for exclusive ethnicity.
Key centuries
Mali Empire (Mandé world) → Kaabu Mandinka state → Segou Bambara → Jolof/Wolof → Futa Jallon Imamate jihad (1727+) enslaving Yalunka and others → Kingdom of Kongo/Angola surge into later Louisiana → Atlantic trade into colonial Louisiana (1719–1808). Biblical Cush/Nubia remains literary geography only.
Doucet milieu tags
Afro-Louisiana tags on Doucet properties include Canga (1789), Mandinka/Maninga (1802), Guinea (1802). These prove a multi-ethnic West African plantation environment — not one exclusive bloodline label for DAJAI.
Non-claims
No person-named African Handy on the direct line yet. No claim of descent from Sundiata or a Kongo king. No Israelite tribal enrollment. DNA kits not yet in this stack.
