COMMENTS ON LECTURE TOURS OF THE WRITER.
COMMENT FROM ONE OF THE LEADING PAPERS OF THE WRITER’S HOME.
This work offers a bold, scripturally grounded reinterpretation of humanity’s early history, arguing that the black man is the true father of civilization. Drawing directly from the Genesis narrative and other biblical passages, the author challenges long‑standing misconceptions that have been reinforced by biased historians. Listeners will hear a passionate defense that seeks to restore credit to achievements long obscured by prejudice.
The author weaves together stories of Ham, Canaan, the skilled Sidonians who built Solomon’s temple, illustrating a continuous thread of ingenuity and influence. By linking these biblical insights to the lives of later champions such as Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, and Booker T. Washington, the book underscores a legacy of resilience and contribution. It invites you to follow the cited verses, compare them with the author’s interpretation, and consider a fresh perspective on the foundations of Western civilization.

A Black minister and religious writer, he is best remembered for arguing that the roots of biblical and world civilization should be understood through Black history. His work also connected him to the wider currents of early 20th-century Black thought and activism.
