The historical role of blacks in Africa, as well as in America, fuels the debate over the racial identity of Ramses II, two local African-American leaders said Tuesday.
Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price and Imam Yahya Abdullah of the Dallas Masjid of Al-Islam made the remarks after an Egypt native now living in Dallas told an audience at the St. Luke Community United Methodist Church that Ramses was a black African.
"Yes, definitely, he was black,'

Egypt's minister of culture said in Washington on Thursday that a Dallas African-American group's assertions that the Ramses exhibit at Fair Park overlooks the Egyptian pharaoh's African heritage are "baseless' and "amazing.'
Abdel-Latif Aboul-Ela said Ramses II was Egyptian, not black or white.

Egypt Says Ramses II Wasn't Black, (CAPITAL Edition]
The Washington Post (pre-1997 Fulltext) - Washington, D.C, Mar 23, 1989
The ancient Egyptian pharaoh [Ramses II] was neither black nor white, says Egypt's cultural emissary to the United States, who is wondering how his country even got involved in an American dispute over the question.
Ramses II was strictly Egyptian, said Abdel-Latif Aboul-Ela, who made the declaration last week while bemoaning the need to do so.
Ramses II, who ruled ancient Egypt for 68 years in the 12th century B.C., was neither black nor white but Egyptian, he said. "Egypt, of course, is a country in Africa, but this doesn't mean it belongs to Africa at large. This is an Egyptian heritage, not an African heritage."
