AT THIS POINT THE LIST OF BLACK WOMEN WHO GAVE THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO AMERICA AND THE WORLD WOULD REQUIRE
SEVERAL COMPUTERS AND MANY PEOPLE TO HELP LIST.
OTHERS BLACK WOMEN WILL BE LISTED IN FUTURE POST.My Political and Legal Status Black People on Earth part 4The first man to stand on top of the worldThe first man to stand on top of the world was Consult M. Henson
A black man stood on top of the North Pole on April 6, 1909
Mathew Henson, a Blackman from New York was the first of a party of
Six to do so and the only human being alive until 1943 to ever do so.
The leader of the expedition was a white explorer named Peary who
Fell ill and was dragged by Henson to the North Pole. And while Peary
Slept Henson walked ahead and stood at the pole before anyone else.
The expedition was sponsored by the National Geographic society
Who gave the credit to Peary instead of Henson. The first man to attempt
The expedition was a Greek named Pytheas who perished in his attempt
In 325 B.C. For 2234 years men have been trying to make it to the top of
The world millions of dollars have been lost in the attempt.
The Iron Age started where and by whom?Professor Franz Boas, the nester of American anthropologists, was
Firmly convinced of the priority of Africa in iron culture.
“Neither ancient Europe, nor ancient Western Asia, nor ancient
China knew Iron” Boas declares, “and everything points to the
Introduction from Africa.
The Belgian anthropologist, Emil Torday, in vol. XLIII of the
Journal of the royal Anthropological Institute, has noted that a
Piece of iron, possibly a tool, was found wedged in the masonry
Of the Great Pyramid of Egypt. Of this fact we feel quite certain.
One more timeThe world’s oldest voluntary making of steel is, up to now certified
To have taken place only in Egypt,
The most ancient object of this type is an Egyptian knife probably made
900 and 800 B.C.
Coming to AmericaAmerican civilization with an Arabico-Mandingo lexicon and derives
Everything of importance in the New World from the highly
Civilized coast of Gambia and Sierra Leone. From brightest Africa
Came the principal American food plants, the Mayan calendar
And the Mexican religion.
Anthropology, His-Story, vs. Our-StoryEuropeans were by no means the pioneers of human civilization.
Half of man’s recorded history had passed before anyone in Europe
Could read or write. The priest of Egypt began to keep written
Records between 4000 and 3000 B.C; but more than two thousand
Years later the poems of Homer were still being circulated in the
Greek city-state by word of mouth.
Shortly after 3000 B.C., while the Pharaohs were building the first
Pyramids, Europeans were creating nothing more distinguished than
Huge garbage heaps.
When Europeans finally got themselves together and created the
Semblance of what could be referred to as a state or a nation they soon
Made a glaring discovery- Europe could not furnish them with enough
Food to properly feed them or enough material to properly cloth them.
Anthropology In Egypt the most ancient carvings are of upper Paleolithic period.
In Ethiopia, near the dire Dawa site the paintings discovered in the
Porcupine Cavern is of the type found in Egypt and Libya
Dating back 30,000 years ago.
If one bases one’s judgment on morphology, the first White man appeared
Only around 20,000 years ago: the Cro-Magnum Man. He is probably the
Result of a mutation from the Grimaldi Negroid due to an existence of
20,000 years in the excessively cold climate of Europe at the end of the last
glaciations.
