A Black Man's Notes on Ancient Egypt - Paperback

A Black Man's Notes on Ancient Egypt is Karl C. Pierce's personal study of his own black history from the beginning of mankind. Throughout the text, Pierce explores several familiar questions. Who were the early Humans? Where did they come from? What was the role of Africa and its people in the development of civilization? Why is Ancient Egypt so critical to this story? This story is unique, as it is not told from an academic viewpoint, but from that of a truth-seeking black man, intent on solidifying his own knowledge of his ancestors, to push-back on this narrative of blacks as savages promoted for hundreds of years by European scholars whose writings are designed to continue the hundreds of years of disenfranchisement of blacks.
