why was the 'truth' hidden in the first place? Ohhhh, I forgot. Never mind. Too many accomplishments of black culture from the continent of Africa to the american accomplishments of POC, during slavery and post, have either been stolen or downplayed with caveats. "Black Athena', 'Destruction of Black Civilization'. Two indispensible sources of the truth of who accomplished what, when, how and why. Thank God for Black Studies!!!!!!!!!!!!
