Albert Einstein’s First Lecture on Relativity
While serving as a university lecturer, Albert Einstein gave a powerful speech in which he described racism as “a disease of white people”. He made it clear that he had no intention of staying silent on the issue. Being part of the Jewish community in Europe during the 1940s, Einstein had firsthand experience of the destructive effects of racial prejudice.
This particular address was delivered to students at Lincoln University while discussing his theory of relativity.
