Book Description
Thoroughly researched and extensively referenced, this highly credible work uses evidence from biblical, anthropological, historical, and ancient literature sources dating as far back as 3,000 years ago to support the facts that: People of color have a positive history. People of color were the first to give structure and order in society. Scripture cites Black role models. Current issues such as idolatry and slavery have their roots in the practices of ancestors. Color was not used as a segregating tool until 300 years ago. Racial equality is a truth Black people have different issues. There is nothing wrong with being black. I have said,…all of you are children of the most High (Psalm 82:6). Pastor of the largest church in Western Europe, Matthew Ashimolowo looks at the glorious past of the Black race and examines uncompromisingly the conformations that have molded Black people. His fascinating insight celebrates the rich heritage and confronts today s challenges.
Editorial Reviews
Review
I commend Pastor Matthew for writing this seminal book that not only celebrates the past achievements of people of colour, but also provides an in-depth exposition of the so-called pathologies and conformations that afflict the present generation of blacks around the world. It provides some solutions and a lot of hope for the future. I heartily recommend this book to all, and especially to politicians, business leaders and academics those who have a key role to play in effecting change –General Olusegun Obasanjo, former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
