I've got Volumes I and II and had no idea that there is a Volume III until visiting the link.

Here's my first intro to hearing Bernal actually speak back in the day trying to understand the core of anti-blackness. Forgive me if I'm not telling you something new, but Bernal was on a series of interviews called For The People that my family watched religiously, hosted by Listervelt Middleton who unfortunately died way too young. There is so much that I learned and was a springboard forever for more learning from Middleton's shows, from the African origins of the Greek Sibyls to the African origins of Christianity itself and so much more. His guest list still astounds me: Bernal, Ben Jochannan , Diop, Van Sertiman - all before Bernal.

I remember Bernal thanked Africans and African-Americans for making it impossible for his colleagues to disappear his works. Bernal is rare among few truly brave academic allies like Sir E. A. Wallis Budge, Sir Godfrey Higgins, Basil Risbridger Davidson, my favorite Gerald Massey, and recently Robert Bauval and Thomas Brophy.

Lol...sometimes I think that we do need a White History Month to identify precisely everything that whiteness has appropriated and plagiarized as their own from Africans and African-Americans and the castigation of their own people who dared to speak the truth.
