Rabbi Sherwin Wine explores the questions posed by Mary Lefkowitz in her book "Not Out of Africa." Such questions are as follows: Was Socrates black? Did Aristotle steal his ideas from the library of Alexandria? Does European civilization have an African origin? Hardly a week goes by when an article appears in a newspaper or magazine making such allegations. But, so far no one has responded fully to these claims or explained why these strange ideas are being circulated, and indeed taught in American schools. What is the real story? What does the evidence indicate is the real connection between Europe and Africa?
Recorded October 17, 1996.
