(Akiit.com) New book uses Bible to trace origins of humankind and contributions of blacks in America.
The Legacy: Looking Back While Moving Forward by Laura Lee King examines the lineage of black Americans
PORTLAND, Ore. (MMD Newswire) May 18, 2010 — In The Legacy: Looking Back While Moving Forward, Laura Lee King explores the ways black people have shaped and impacted the United States.
Was the Bible written to favor one group of people over another? In The Legacy, King studies the origins and contributions of black people, using the Bible as source material. King feels there is only one race, the race of people, and that all differences are merely superficial ones. She believes that black people have not received sufficient recognition in American history because of prejudice, and she aims to set the record straight.
King has said that she wanted this book to showcase the many inventions and contributions that blacks have given to the country, including the discovery of blood plasma, and creation of peanut butter, traffic lights and more. The author’s message in The Legacy is also that all groups of people have originated from just two, Adam and Eve, and all have shared in discoveries and inventions.
The Legacy: Looking Back While Moving Forward is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
