The Black Man, the Father of Civilization, Proven by Biblical History (Annotated) James Morris Webb

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-This book contains a historical context, where past events or the study and narration of these events are examined. The historical context refers to the circumstances and incidents surrounding an event. This context is formed by everything that, in some way, influences the event when it happens. A fact is always tied to its time: that is, to its time. Therefore, when analyzing events that took place tens, hundreds or thousands of years ago, it is essential to know the historical context to understand them. Otherwise, we would be analyzing and judging what happened in a totally different era with a current perspective. James Morris Webb, born in 1878 in Tennessee and died in 1940, is an American reverend. He delivered a speech in 1921, predicting that a charismatic leader would be proclaimed king of a great African power and would also be the incarnation of the African God. In 1930, Tafari Makonnen was crowned king of Ethiopia (under the name of Hailé Sélassié I er), so this speech became for some a prophecy that is at the origin of the Rastafari movement. In 1924, Marcus Garvey, a black leader, takes up a prayer from Webb's speech ("Look towards Africa, where a black king will be crowned, who will lead blacks to their rescue"). That is why this discourse and this role of prophet are often mistakenly attributed to him.
