Please provide a brief response to the following questions:

1) How did Dr. Herskovits’ discoveries about African people and their cultural practices support Dr. Woodson’s beliefs about African history and the effect of Eurocentric thinking on distorting the culture, history, knowledge, and understanding of people of African descent?

2) According to Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop, which people are responsible for Egyptian culture and civilization; how does he support this claim and why is this Afrocentric perspective so controversial?
