[From Back cover] Many claims have been made over the years by notable black and white scholars Woodson, Rogers, Lawrence, Jackson, Bailey, Gordon, Irwin, Jeffreys, Cauvet, Wiener. They have all been dismissed. Some of these claims failed to convince anyone but the converted because they needed to be backed up by corroboration from many disciplines. To claim, for example, that Columbus saw "blacks" in Haiti is one thing. To prove that those blacks" were Africans was another, since there are dark-skinned American Indians in tropical zones of America.
