I always thought Granada fell to the Christians the same year Christopher Columbus rediscovered the Americas. That would put the date of the last Moors as 1492.

Interesting viewpoint; one I don't agree with completely. I do not subscribe to the, "everything worth noting came from Africa" theory. I do know that Africans have played a major role in the history of Western Europe which has been erased mostly, or forgotten.

I'm not sure what you mean. I'm not making the categorical statement that "everything worth noting came from Africa". But I would also very much agree that Africans have played a major role in Western European and even world history, and this history has definitely been erased from popular consciousness.
