Twitter users are debating whether thee Ludwig van Beethoven was in-fact a black man, white-washed by historians for centuries.  


A resurfaced article from 2015 claims that Beethoven was described by his lovers, friends, teachers as a black-skinned man.



There were no cameras back in the early 1800's, so we'll never know for sure what his race was, nor that it really matters, as he will be remembered forever for his music. 


Twitter became aware of Beethoven potentially being black and began pumping out memes and reactions left and right.
