When the ancient Greek historian Herodotus traveled to 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 to believe it. In summary, Davidson successfully traces Africa's early origins and demonstrates that it is a civilization far from being devoid of art, technology, sophistication, and unique culture. Culture and civilization as we know it today can be traced back to Africa, and modern science has verified that Europeans' early perceptions were wrong. It provides more than adequate evidence that Africa has a comprehensive history of vast and rich civilization, including archaeological finds and specialized interviews with distinguished scholars and philosophers. Despite the fact that today society 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 unfortunately modern racism exists. I believe that the existence of Davidson's work and videos like Different but Equal are crucial to challenging these stereotypes and discrimination in order to create a more accurate image of Africa and its history. Overall, Davidson demonstrates that the African continent is home to a history as significant, complete and progressive as that of any other civilization in the world.
