I have owned both of these books for over 15 years. I have lectured at Harvard University, MIT, Umass Amherst, Amherst College and other places citing references from J.A. Rogers exhaustive research. He was greatly ahead of his time and any one of his books are worth their weight in gold. I am a self-taught historian and have been lecturing for 16 years now and consider J.A. Rogers' easy to read,informative style the best ever. He tells his readers about many Africans and others of African descent that achieved great feats while many Europeans were still in savagery. He discusses the first recorded Dr. Imhotep. Hatshepsut (Queen ruler who has a temple that still stands). Makeda, Clitus (General with Alexander the Great), King Taharqa (mentioned in the Bible) and many other great figures. I have all 14 of his books and would not trade one for a bar of gold. His research vastly improved my confidence in the achievement of Africans the world over that have been hidden from general knowledge for lifetimes. If anyone doubts the works of J.A. Rogers I would debate them any place using his research and embarrass you with the research you bring.
The great thing about his works are he just calmly states the facts without tearing any other race or civilization down. How many other works do that? Also with his vast research he could have berated many other races and civilizations, but chose not to waste his time and just stated the facts.
We all greatly benefit still from what he dedicated his life to!
By David Moore
We must always study and investigate things for ourselves and turn a deaf ear to the negative words coming from oppressor's children. White people (ruling class and modern peasants alike) want to dictate black history to black people for their own benefits and gains. The aim is the continuation of white supremacy. Ignorance is the greatest tool of oppression, and if they can keep you ignorant they can keep you oppressed. If they can keep you oppressed, then they will stay on stop, and we will remain at the bottom. It's all tactics employed to benefit them (white people). A simple counter tactic would be to utterly and completely ignore them and continue to study, and each one teach one! J A Rogers wrote phenomenal books read them all!! Peace family and remember they only have the power that you give them!
