==Biography==
Olpak's ancestors, of Kikuyu ethnicity from today's Kenya,〔(Afrika'nın kapıları İzmir'e açılıyor, ''Yeni Asır'', 21 November 2008, retrieved 25 January 2009 )〕 were enslaved around the year 1890, brought to Crete and sold in Rethymno. Following the population exchange between Greece and Turkey, the family settled in Ayvalık.〔(Şu bizim kara Afrikalılar, ''Taraf'', 20 May 2008, retrieved 25 January 2009 )〕 Olpak married a Turkish woman named Sevgi in İzmir after his military service.〔Mustafa Olpak, ''Kenya-Girit-İstanbul: Köle Kıyısından İnsan Biyografileri'', pp. 137-138, İstanbul, Ozan Yayıncılık, 2005 ISBN 975-7891-80-0〕
In 2006, Olpak founded the first officially recognised organisation of Afro-Turks, the Africans' Culture and Solidarity Society (''Afrikalılar Kültür ve Dayanışma Derneği'') in Ayvalık.〔(Turks with African ancestors want their existence to be felt, ''Today's Zaman'', 11 May 2008, Sunday, retrieved 28 August 2008 )〕 The opening ceremony was attended by Ali Moussa Iye, the Chief of UNESCO Slave Routes Project.〔(Mustafa Olpak’ın Kurduğu Dernek, UNESCO’nun Da Dikkatini Çekti: Hayallerinin ötesine geçti )〕〔(Slave route project, no. 4; The Slave Route newsletter; Vol.:4; 2007 )〕 A principal aim of the association is to promote studies of oral history of Afro-Turks, a community history of whom was usually ignored by official historiography in Turkey.
The Turkish film ''Arap Kızı Camdan Bakıyor''〔(Kameradan Köleliğin Tarihine Bakış, retrieved 5 February 2009 )〕 ("The Arab Girl Looks from the Window," released with the English title of ''Baa Baa Black Girl'')〔(‘Breaking The Chains’ Prize, Zanzibar International Film Festival, July 5, 2007, retrieved 28 August 2008 )〕 discusses how his grandfather was purchased as a household slave by a Turkish family, but later moved to Istanbul after the Turkish Revolution.〔(Zanzibar Film Festival: Dealing with the Gruesome History of Slavery, retrieved 28 August 2008 )〕
