In The Black Man Father of Civilization Proven By Biblical History, the American pastor, James Morris Webb (1878-1940) of the African Methodist Episcopal Church uses the Bible as evidence that African, dark skinned or colored people, were the progenitors of all civilizations on Earth. Following the blood line of Adam and Eve, to Ham, David, Solomon and Jesus, Webb provides a stirring basis that some of the Bible's main characters were in fact people of color.
