Booklist
Description
Refutes Afrocentrist claims that historical figures like Socrates and Cleopatra were black, and that the ancient Greek philosophers stole their ideas from the Egyptians, discussing the lack of evidence to support what the author calls the myths about ancient history, and looking at where the ideas originated, and why they are being perpetuated in schools and throughout society.
