Question

which west african leadership figure is best known for his lavish fourteenth-century pilgrimage to mecca and medina?
leopold senghor
sundiata keita
sunni ali
mansa kankan musa
kwame nkrumah

Explanation:

Leopold Senghor and Kwame Nkrumah are 20th-century African leaders, not 14th-century. Sundiata Keita founded the Mali Empire but did not take this famous pilgrimage, while Sunni Ali led the Songhai Empire with no major linked pilgrimage. Mansa Kankan Musa, ruler of the Mali Empire in the 14th century, is globally known for his extremely lavish pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina, which included distributing large amounts of gold that impacted economies along his route.

Answer:

Mansa Kankan Musa
