What wonderful dreams you have!
Speaking of Egyptian queens,have you ever seen a picture of Queen Tiy?Most definitely a black woman if I ever saw one!Then there are the queens or "Candaces" of ancient Kush.I am not a big believer of the"Afrocentric"movement but one has to be pretty naive to think that Egyptians from Upper Egypt didn't mix with the "Negroids" of the Lower Nile Valley region.
One of my old supervisors at the Post Office was an Egyptian named Muhammed.He looked dead on Mike Tyson.It was EERIE.
Yet don't call him"black".He was always"correcting"black employees on what he thought was an insulting label.
Oh,speaking of the early civil rights movement and the Freedom Riders,check out a book called All Is Well by Julius Lester.It is a beautiful tale of his journey from Fisk through SNCC and his evolution from Black Power idealogue to his current embrace of Judaism.
Thank you, I will look for this book.
