major influence in China. For instance, the Shang Dynasty were of
African decent. Shang Dynasty ruled from 1766 BCE to 1122 BCE. The
first King of China Fu Shi was also a black man. Buddha, Krishna and
many other prominent Asian figures who are now perceived to be non
melanated did have dark pigment. For more information on the Africans
Prescence in Asia please refer to the works of Ivan Van Sertima,
Runoko Rashidi, J.A Rodgers, Alice Getty and Jan Boeles.
The artist's inspiration derived from the works of
J.A Rodgers book Sex and Race.
