The book aims to challenge the prevailing views of racial inferiority, celebrating the achievements and intellectual contributions of Black individuals throughout history. It presents biographies of various notable figures, aiming to highlight the capabilities and rights of Black people. At the start of the book, the author sets the tone by discussing the considerable prejudice faced by the Negro race. Brown contrasts the dehumanizing views held by some regarding the intellectual and moral inferiority of Blacks with the reality of their historical contributions. He touches upon his own background as a former slave and the profound journey toward freedom and self-realization. The opening segues into a commitment to refuting misconceptions about Black capabilities, illustrating how societal perceptions have been shaped by ignorance and malice rather than factual reality. The preface ultimately aims to provide a rich understanding of the strengths and resilience of the Black race in the face of historical oppression. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
