Black Athena Movie Review 1991

Presents Prof. Martin Bernal's studied argument that ancient Greece, which introduced democracy, philosophy, and drama, was not a pure Aryan civilization, but had African origins as evidenced in Greek mythology. Includes commentary by eminent scholars who charge Bernal with using evidence selectively and uncritically.
