Dr. Herskovits' discoveries about African cultural practices supported Dr. Woodson's beliefs that Eurocentric thinking distorted understanding of African history and culture. Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop believed that African people were responsible for Egyptian culture and civilization, which he supported through evidence but was a controversial Afrocentric perspective.
