When the Greek historian Herodotus visited Africa, he described African civilization and its achievements as “different but equal.” Davidson's video is a valuable historical resource that presents the viewer with the information necessary to believe him. In summary, Davidson successfully traces the early origins of Africa and demonstrates that it is a civilization far from being devoid of arts, technology, sophistication and unique culture. Culture and civilization as we know it today dates back to Africa, and modern science has confirmed that Europeans' early perceptions were wrong. It provides more than sufficient evidence of Africa's history of vast and rich civilizations, including archaeological discoveries and expert interviews with eminent scholars and philosophers. Although society today has a more positive attitude towards African civilization in terms of recognition, equality and acceptance than in the past, negative stereotypes are still recognized and modern racism unfortunately exists. I believe the existence of Davidson's work and videos such as Different but Equal are crucial in challenging these stereotypes and discriminations to create a more accurate picture of Africa and its history. Overall, Davidson proves that the African continent is home to a history every bit as significant, comprehensive and progressive as that of any other civilization in the world.
