The Color of Solomon

By Benjamin Tucker Tanner

An African-American Reverend named Benjamin Tucker Tanner is the talented author behind this 1895 book about the falsehood of portraying Soloman as a member of the white race, particularly in American Christian teachings.

A prominent theologian, brilliant researcher, and prolific editor, Tanner points out, that by all accounts, the words of the bible itself describe the descendants of Solomon such that there is no doubt that he could not have belonged to the white race.

When challenged to validate his reason for championing this point, Rev. Tanner replied:
"In no country in Christendom, except the United States of America, would the color of a man be deemed a subject worthy of consideration. In all other lands, it is race or nation. In the United States, however, that is mightier than manhood- mightier than race or nation, morals or intellect, is the negative quality of the color of the skin." Well said.
