Prince, Beverly C.: - As a surgeon, born in the Bronx, she is part of the wave of southerners who benefited from the relative freedoms of the North. She used that freedom to gain knowledge from other cultures and has come to see that Africans have been part of the world much longer than history records. Prince believes explorers "discovered" the artifacts belonging to the older but more advanced civilization and profited, claiming that knowledge we have today. She believes a deeper understanding is clearly revealed when the knowledge is shared with the people who created the cultures.
