Additional Details

first and only edition, and the first copy we have seen. "Volume 1, First in Series" on the front cover, however, no further volumes were issued. A curious publication, reminiscent of Joel Augustus Rogers' race pride publications of the 1930s and '40s, but considerably more radical. A number of pages are devoted to Marcus Garvey and the pan-African movement in general. OCLC locates one copy only. "Very much of the history of the black race has been hidden, destroyed and falsified. Here is a general history presented to tell black people the truth about themselves." Robert Harris and Vernon T Miller, from the Introduction.
