Sun Ra<\/strong> was multi-faceted musician in the 1970s and 1980s who contended that African Americans were myths\u2014 that he was a myth himself \u2014because the world did not recognize black people as being fully human, and America did not grant their full citizenship.

The Nation of Islam<\/strong> re-envisions Black origins in the cosmos and Black life on other planets in direct response to slavery and lynching. Grey aliens might symbolize the amalgamation or hybridization of the races in a manner that might reflect human desire to transcend problem of racism.
