Circa 1850, an international school of racial typology favoring the superiority of Caucasian’s over all people of color had begun to develop and publicly express itself. This international school propagated the pseudo-science of biological and intellectual inferiority of African descended people has been referred to as “scientific racism.” In 1850, Haitian Joseph Anténor Firmin challenged and meticulously dismantled the dangerous pillars of the race myth and race propaganda. Gershom Williams, Sr explains this enviroment, the players, and Firmin's response.
