Excerpt from History of the Black Man; An Authentic Collection of Historical Information on the Early Civilization of the Descendants of Ham, the Son of Noah
It is very essential that every race should possess a correct knowledge of its own past history.
The masses of the American negro have been deprived of the opportunity of obtaining an adequate knowledge of the past history of the black man. The average historian has not considered the ancient history of the black man of sufficient importance to claim his attention Even Mr. Myers would have the students of his general history belive that the black man has always been a hewer of wood and a drawer of water. A large majority of the men of letters of our own people who are very proficient in ancient, medieval, modern history of Greece and Rome, and even China, Japan and other European and Asiatic countries, know very little of the history of their own people.
A lack of historical knowledge of ourselves has been the means of lessening of our race pride. A better knowledge of the contribution of the black man to civilization will cause us to have a better opinion of ourselves.
