The Origin of Races and Color: With an Archeological Compendium of
Ethiopian and Egyptian Civilization - Skillfully blending
biblical history, archaeology and anthropology, Delany offered evidence to the "serious inquirer"
suggesting the first humans were African, and that these Africans were"... builder of the
pyramids, sculptors of the sphinxes, and original god- kings..." With such radical assertions,
Delany advanced a model of ancient history that contradicted the very foundation of intellectual
racism. Delany looked at the history of the world and saw Africa at its center. He believed
knowledge of one's past was essential, and that it could provide Black people with the
regenerative force necessary to inspire their self-improvement. Were he alive today, Delany
would certainly feel at home with the present generation of African centrist, especially since
he developed and articulated so many of their arguments more than a century ago.
