Afrocentrism

Afrocentrism is an intellectual and cultural movement that centers African history, culture, and contributions in understanding world civilization—particularly as a corrective to Eurocentrism in Western education and scholarship.

Proponents emphasize Africa's influence on ancient Greece, Egypt's African identity, and the achievements of precolonial African societies.

Critics argue some claims lack historical evidence.

Afrocentric curricula aim to give Black students a sense of cultural heritage and pride.
