James Morris Webb
The Black Man, the Father of Civilization, Proven by Biblical History
"The Black Man, the Father of Civilization, Proven by Biblical History" by Webb is a historical and theological publication likely written during the early 20th century. This significant work aims to challenge the prevalent prejudices against black individuals by asserting that the black man is the true progenitor of civilization, supported by references from biblical texts. Webb meticulously delineates historical facts and interpretations from the Bible to illustrate the contributions and fundamental role of the black race in the development of humanity and culture. In the book, Webb extensively examines biblical accounts and historical evidence to argue that figures from the black race were instrumental in the birth of civilization. He discusses the lineage of Ham, the son of Noah, and presents key historical figures such as Nimrod and the ancient Egyptians, claiming they were descendants of black men who established foundational civilizations. Webb asserts that the great achievements in governance, art, and science originated within the black community and that many historical records have been obscured by bias. Through a series of arguments and biblical references, he seeks to restore dignity and honor to the black man’s contribution to world history, ultimately positioning him as the father of civilization itself.
