King Tut Not Black Enough

Black activists in Philadelphia held their third demonstration recently to express disapproval of the King Tutanhkamun exhibit at the city’s Franklin Institute. The protesters are primarily angered by the fact that images of King Tut promoting the show and those in the exhibit have been altered to lighten his skin and change his African features to those of an Arab or Caucasian.
