You restored all the treasure-houses
from Benin to Zimbabwe, Mapungubwe to Cairo;
Africa moved its golden bones,
shook off its heavy chains
and danced again.

This shows the imagery of a slave who is in chains, taking the chains off and still being happy considering the circumstances.

Hope this helps!
