When the topic of the Moorish influence in Europe is being discussed, one of the first questions that
arises is, what race were they ?
As early as the Middle Ages, Moors were commonly v iewed as being mostly black or v ery swarthy ,
and hence the word is often used for negro, according to the Ox ford English Dictionary .
Author and historian Chancellor Williams said the original Moors, like the original Egy ptians, were
black Africans.
The 1 6th century English play wright William Shakespeare used the word Moor as a sy nony m for
African. His contemporary Christopher Marlowe also used African and Moor interchangeably .
Arab writers further buttress the black identity of the Moors. The powerful Moorish Emperor Y usuf

ben-Tachfin is described by an Arab chronicler as a brown man with wooly hair.

Black soldiers, specifically identified as Moors, were activ ely recruited by Rome, and serv ed in
Britain, France, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary , Poland, and Romania. St. Maurice, patron saint of
mediev al Europe, was only one of many black soldiers and officers under the employ of the Roman
Empire.
Although generations of Spanish rulers hav e tried to ex punge this era from the historical record,
recent archeology and scholarship now shed fresh light on the Moors who flourished in Al-Andalus
for more than 7 00 y ears from 7 1 1 AD until 1 492. The Moorish adv ances in mathematics,
astronomy , art, and agriculture helped propel Europe out of the Dark Ages and into the
Renaissance.

Univ ersal Education

The Moors brought enormous learning to Spain that ov er centuries would percolate through the
rest of Europe.
The intellectual achiev ements of the Moors in Spain had a lasting effect; education was univ ersal in
Moorish Spain, while in Christian Europe, 99 percent of the population was illiterate, and ev en kings
could neither read nor write. At a time when Europe had only two univ ersities, the Moors had
sev enteen, located in Almeria, Cordov a, Granada, Juen, Malaga, Sev ille, and Toledo.
In the 1 0th and 1 1 th centuries, public libraries in Europe were non-ex istent, while Moorish Spain
could boast of more than 7 0, including one in Cordov a that housed hundreds of thousands of
manuscripts. Univ ersities in Paris and Ox ford were established after v isits by scholars to Moorish

Spain.
It was this sy stem of education, taken to Europe by the Moors, that seeded the European
Renaissance and brought the continent out of the 1 ,000 y ears of intellectual and phy sical gloom of
the Middle Ages.

and they'll do everything to keep black man in perpectul darkness. The black man on
his part has succeeded in accepting failure mentality and the role of second fidel. It
take a new thinking cum self-esteem for growth that can free them from this mentality.

You cannot look at egypt and north africa today and say those were the same
inhabitants from a thousand years ago. Many arabs and non africans whose bloodline
of course may have been generations removed from africa migrated into egypt and
north africa. Another somewhat hidden truth. So when ppl try to tell you the moors
weren't really africans give them the side eye. Also don't forget islam isn't that old as
far as having the label/name on it.

no one is denying that blacks made up the original inhabitants of africa or
that islam as a religion is not that old, what the article is saying is that the
moors were exclusively black and that the religion of islam had no part to play
in the moors' conquest of spain. if the moors weren't muslim, what where they
doing building mosques all over the parts of spain that they occupied? why is
it that modern-day names of cities and towns across spain have arabic roots?
if you deny the diversity of the moors and the role of religion then you are no
better than a white man spreading a euro-centric view of history. it is
important that the 'black' movement does not fall into this trap - ask malcolm

black. for example in the headline the author says "black men ruled". when
the author cited chancellor williams who said the original Moors, like the
original Egyptians, were black Africans, and when the author cited arab
writers to "buttress the black identity of the Moors" (contradicting the OED
definition) and then saying "Black soldiers, specifically identified as Moors" all these contribute to the reader's mind that he is equating "moor" solely with
"black".

right to not be harassed as we try to piece together the fragments of our
