Original Note:
We don’t know what Augustine looked like exactly. He most likely was not white, as he was mixed race, and some early depictions show him with darker skin tones. His father was a Roman colonist, his mother Monica was Berber, an ethnic group indigenous to North Africa. https://www.churchpop.com/2016/10/12/was-st-augustine-black-the-skin-color-of-the-churchs-greatest-theologian/
