Answer from Nanette Dillard, Publisher of Travel Beyond Borders, The International Travel Guide for International African Americans: I would say Vienna, Austria; Venice, Italy; and Berlin, Germany.These are places that we do not think of as contributing to our overall history, but they do.In fact, the first known sculpted figure of a human being was found near Vienna, the famous Venus of Willendorf, and is clearly a figure with Black features.African peoples have always been very mobile and these are just three of the places effected by that mobility.There are actually many, many more.Nanette can be reached at (800) 471-5888, www.travelbeyond.org, or tbb@travelbeyond.org.
