People have been making this claim for over a century but nobody has ever managed to find any evidence that Beethoven, or one of his parents were black. Recent DNA evidence has debunked the claim completely. https://twitter.com/fakehistoryhunt/status/1273616993724313602 https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/was-beethoven-black-and-why-might-be-wrong-question-ask-180975159/ https://theconversation.com/was-beethoven-black-a-twitter-meme-reveals-more-about-race-and-music-than-the-composers-origins-143440 https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/sep/07/beethoven-was-black-why-the-radical-idea-still-has-power-today https://blackwallst.media/beethoven-was-black-why-the-radical-idea-still-has-power-today/ https://beethovenscholar.com/index.php/2023/03/22/was-beethoven-black/ https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(23)00181-1 https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/22/health/beethoven-death-dna-hair.html?action=click&module=Well&pgtype=Homepage&section=Science

Original Tweet
Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1720499983311352157
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
