The idea that Europe was void of nonwhite people is a myth perpetrated by historians, various forms of media and systematic white supremacy. European societies such as the ancient Greeks and Romans had African people at the very top of their civilizations.
However, author and historian Martin Bernal posited in his book, “Black Athena,” that a wave of anti-Black and anti-Semitic influence on the Greek civilization was dismissed during the Enlightenment.
These notions of white homogeneity are questioned in the latest Atlanta Black Star original.
