Hey D
im sure you know this but for those who dont “They Came Before Columbus…” is one of the best books you will ever read. Cop it, read it, give it to someone to read, then cop again for your archives. Not to be missed by anyone who wants to call themselves, “well read”

Nattiez, I’ll have to check for that one, B!
recap this if you can, D
They Came Before Columbus by Ivan Van Sertima.
2nd Cosign.
Recap, well I read it years ago but its basically about the African presence in the Americas before Columbus. It’s a serious academic look into the similarities in cultures.
@ dirty. no pun intended but its the truth. its about all of the documented evidence of the presence of Africans, and others in the new world long before Columbus including white sailors reports of seeing Africans when they got to America. Im into history and studied it in college and i was reading it like i had never read a book before. Even things that you knew about take on a different look. if you do, hit me and let me know what you think
thanks Vee
