On this date in 1911, Frank Snowden, a pioneering scholar on the history of Black people in ancient times, was indeed born. His work focused on exploring the representation and role of African people, particularly Ethiopians, in ancient history. His influential books Blacks in Antiquity: Ethiopians in the Greco-Roman Experience and Before Color Prejudice: The Ancient View of Blacks contributed significantly to our understanding of race and the ancient world’s treatment of African peoples. His research challenged long-standing ideas about race and helped to reframe the contributions of Black people to history.
