From lightning and tempest,
From the scourge of earthquake,
From plague, famine, and war,
From everlasting death, Lord, save your people.

Some of the greatest saints in the church are Africans such as the 4th Centuary St Augustine of Hippo (Libya) and St Attanasius of Alexandaria http://www.catholic.org/saints/black.php?page=1.

You must have heard of the Martyrs of Uganda led by the leader St Charles Lwanga - a group of 23 Anglican and 22 Catholic converts converts to Christianity in the historical kingdom of Buganda, now part of Uganda, who were executed between November 1885 and January 1887 the youngest only a boy - St Kizito.

From the 1930s, we have St Bakita, a Sudanese slave. I am sure there will be many other Africans who will be canonized in future.
