The author takes you through what forensic anthropologists look for to determine racial ancestry in a skeleton. He then uses this information to show black traits in the ancient biblical period skeletons that have been dug up in Israel. He finishes the book with accounts of Christian-period Judeans who show these same features. Wonderfully and simply written. This settles the issue once and for all!

"Black people are not dark-skinned white people", says advertising visionary Tom Burrell. In fact, they are much more. They are survivors of the Middle Passage and centuries of humiliation and deprivation, who have excelled against the odds, constantly making a way out of "No way!" At this pivotal point in history, the idea of Black inferiority should have had a "Going-Out-of-Business Sale." After all, Barack Obama reached America's Promised Land. Yet, as Brainwashed testifies, too many in Black America are still wandering in the wilderness.

So, you’ve probably heard that the Bible is “the white man’s religion”. Well, that’s not exactly true. It’s a blatantly false statement that has been embraced by uninformed people of all colors for far too long. The Bible is, in fact, an Afrocentric book and belief system, and I dare you to prove me wrong.

Publisher's Summary
The black experience in America - starting from its origins in western Africa up to 1961 - is examined in this seminal study from a prominent African American figure. The entire historical timeline of African Americans is addressed, from the Colonial period through the civil rights upheavals of the late 1950s to 1961, the time of publication.
Before the Mayflower grew out of a series of articles Bennett published in Ebony magazine, regarding "the trials and triumphs of a group of Americans whose roots in the American soil are deeper than the roots of the Puritans who arrived on the celebrated Mayflower a year after a Dutch man of war deposited twenty Negroes at Jamestown."
Bennett's history is infused with a desire to set the record straight about black contributions to the Americas and about the powerful Africans of antiquity. While not a fresh history, it provides a solid synthesis of current historical research and a lively writing style that makes it accessible and engaging listening.
After discussing the contributions of Africans to the ancient world, Before the Mayflower tells the history of "the other Americans", how they came to America, and what happened to them when they got here.
The book is comprehensive and detailed, providing little-known and often overlooked facts about the lives of black folks through slavery, Reconstruction, America's wars, the Great Depression, and the civil rights movement. The book includes a useful time line and some fascinating archival images.

Demythologize the American Curriculum
The taught narrative of American history has done an egregious injury to not just that history but to our very humanity. This treatise opens up so many additional narratives and could completely change the game.

Thorough and Insightful
This book was recommended as a starting place for understanding the African American struggle and sentiment. I think this is a comprehensive read full of little known characters and surprising statistics. It should make you curious about aspects of history you maybe didn't know much about and bring up questions worth exploring.
