This work seeks to address and refute the widespread prejudiced beliefs regarding the supposed inferiority of the Negro race, focusing particularly on the progress and capabilities of the African population in Liberia. The book draws on specific examples and testimonials from prominent African individuals to illustrate the potential and successes of this group. In the book, Armistead emphasizes the accomplishments of the Liberian community, particularly since its establishment by freed Blacks from the United States. He highlights the strong moral and governmental structures in place, evidenced by the exemplary leadership of figures such as President J.J. Roberts and Senator Hilary Teage, both of whom delivered notable speeches demonstrating intellectual prowess and commitment to their country's ideals. The publication also includes extracts from their addresses and from Henry H. Garnett, a former slave, as they confront the prejudices facing their race while advocating for equality and civil rights. The author uses these testimonies to assert that the potential for intelligence, character, and societal contribution exists equally among all races, and challenges the reader to acknowledge the inherent capabilities of the Negro population in the context of freedom and opportunity.
