The ability to make and use fire has fundamentally changed the arc of our evolution. The bodies we have today were, in many ways, shaped by that time when we first tamed fire.

"We come from Egyptian Kings and Queens": That time I checked my teacher on his negative v Kwabena Ofori Osei 23 Views • 2 years ago

Social media influencer Luana Safire recently remembered an incident when she was 12 years old and had to stand up to her history teacher because of his low opinion of black capability.

Safire's defense of black people speaks to the invisibility of blacks and Africans in history textbooks that spread knowledge of world history. Brazil's education system, like that of many other countries, is Eurocentric in its depictions of Europeans in contrast to the way non-Europeans are presented.

Safire's desire to correct her teacher shows what happens when people of African descent begin to have access to information that has long been denied to them.
