Preferred term

Ancient Egyptian studies movement  

Definition

  • The call to research, recover, and bring forth the legacy of ancient Egypt as a paradigm of achievement and possibility has a long history among African Americans. An early interest in Egypt as a classical African civilization is evident in the 19th-century works of African American activists and writers such as David Walker, Hosea Easton, Martin Delaney, and Henry Highland Garnet.
