SENGHOR, LÉOPOLD

Senghor: négritude is the affirmation of a Black aesthetic, philosophical, and political identity reclaimed from colonial denigration. The GAI's `lineage_claimed` field (§3.3) is an institutional affordance for such affirmations. The applicant may name forebears the colonial archive suppressed. The institution accepts the lineage without verification. Verification, as policy, cannot be done. The naming is the practice.
