Albert Einstein’s First Lecture on Relativity
While seÂrving as a university lecturer, AlbeÂrt Einstein gave a powerful speÂech in which he describeÂd racism as “a disease of white people”. He made it clear that he had no inteÂntion of staying silent on the issue. BeÂing part of the Jewish community in Europe during the 1940s, Einstein had firsthand experieÂnce of the destructive effects of racial prejudice.
This particular address was delivereÂd to students at Lincoln University while discussing his theÂory of relativity.
