Abiola means "Born into Honor." Abiola is very intelligent boy whose parents have taught him many great things about his African ancestry in the areas of inventions, pioneers, science, and technology. Abiola begins to realize that very little, if any, of the information about his ancestors is being used in the public school curriculum. Abiola discusses the situation with his parents who show him how to research in different areas. Abiola then shares this information with his friends and teachers, and they all become excited, especially Abiola because he is anxious to learn more about his ancestor's contribution to the world.
