James Morris Webb argues that The Black Man was the father of civilization, born in the land of Egypt, and that the different branches of science and art were simply transmitted to other races, which, as the ages have rolled by have only been enlarged, and to some extent improved upon. A seminal text, The Black Man was widely read within the Garvey Movement, the Rastafarians, and other early African identity and Black Nationalist groups.

Appendix
I have many objects in presenting this book to the public.
First: I love my race regardless of the prejudice against her, the unenviable position she holds, and the things she is falsely said to be guilty of.
I demonstrate my love for her by launching this book before the public as somewhat of a defense against the prejudice of ancient, as well as modern historical writers and lecturers, who have misrepresented her, and took from her the good deeds and honors that are justly due her.
Secondly: I realize that my race has had defenders, and has some now, men of my race and men of other races.
But I am simply presenting this book as a humble race defender, in connection with the body of race defenders, and if my theory in this book is accepted as one of the little fingers of this splendid body, I will feel that I have accomplished some results and thus portrayed the story of The Widow’s Mite—she gave all she had, and I contribute likewise.
Thirdly: To appreciate my argument, the reader had best have a Bible at his fingertips so as to examine my references and compare them with my statements, which I make wholly and solely upon the authorities found in the Bible, which in turn is the real and only authority on ancient history (again my authority is not inspired in the slightest degree with malice or hatred for the white race).
My profession as a Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ would not permit me to defend in the name of justice, harboring malice and hatred or any ill-feeling toward my white brethren.
I am acting with that meek and humble spirit and with a gigantic pride in my race, which I hope, pleases God.
