Haiti is approximately an hour and a half flight away from the state of Florida, and yet it is merely recognized to a limited Americans, and unheard of by many nations in the world. The island is an abode to a people of unbeatable values and astonishing histories that are in no comparison to any other nations on Earth. On that island, the African slaves contrived tactics that were perplexed to their oppressors, through which they had defeated Napoleonic forces in 1803, to become the First Black Nation in the world. Even today, the superpowers which had converged to keep them in bondage still show resentment toward them, feeling ashamed and threaten by their success, skeptical that their history may overshadow theirs. The eventful revolution on that island had sparked revolutions around the World, motivated slaves miles away to fight for the rights they are naturally entitled to as Human Beings. Today the nation is undoubtedly traversing frustrating moments, however their endurance is as strong as their heart, and through it all they are triumphant through courage to prevail as they retain their place in history of the World as the First to eradicate slavery from their land.

Chapter One

One Question Many Answers

There is a beginning to everything in existence, a genuine source, from which answers to all questions could be found.

During the course of my life, I have found myself seeking for answers to many questions my mind has conceived over the years, and I always have to prioritize their relevance, their value, their importance in relations with my life, my environment, and the society in which I live. Some of those questions are trivial and irrelevant to my personal life, but they do have great significance to life in general. Some of them remain mysteries that I believe no man alive could ever satisfy me with answers for. Some are so vast in definition and explanation; everyone could come up with so many different answers for them, to the point of creating controversies among a whole civilization.

I was frequently reprimanded by one of my girlfriends for asking too many questions, especially when we spoke over the phone, for I'm not a talkative person when it comes to phone conversation, I usually tend to get sidetracked easily by other activities around me, that I sometime subconsciously blocked her out of my head. She always thought I was being nosy or curious, or I was purposely getting on her nerves. Nevertheless, I recall my defensive response had always been the same; I would tell her that a conversation is mainly based on questions and answers, and without them, a real conversation could be hardly developed. But the truth of the matter is, sometimes I just didn't know what to say, and I always hoped a question would get the ball rolling toward an interesting conversation, which was not always the case.

Knowledge begins with questions, questions lead to research, and out of research come answers. But sometimes a question may have various answers in contrast to one source and others, depending on what different people think the answer should be, or prominent philosophers and thorough researchers believe the answer to be. Therefore which answer is correct to a particular question, is another question to be puzzling about.

I have witnessed brothers and sisters getting frustrated by their younger siblings, because young children never seem to run out of questions. But even when those inquiries from a toddler may seem to be of no value or interest to a grown up, they may have profound effects which may impact a child throughout a lifetime. That is the reason why parents should be vigilant on what they say and do around their children; who their children are being taught by, and what type of environment their children are being exposed to. Children are true imitators, who are intelligent at capturing and retaining physical, visual and audible data. On a different level of course, a grown person as well should be vigilant when it comes to seeking for answers to whatever an interest or curiosity may be, while the main source is not always easy to spot. A man would only tell people what he wants them to know, and he would try vehemently to make people believe what he wants them to believe, simply for his vicious gain and his personal exploit.

Chapter Two

The Source

I'm not trying to convince anyone that this book is the source of truth, because I too, from my own judgment had to choose sources upon which some of my statements and supports are based, and hope they are reliable enough and truthful. But I urge all readers to be at ease, for everything mentioned in this book is either physically or topographically proven to be accurate, even what historians have previously published, have been re-evaluated for better and satisfactory results. Some of the topics in this book are also based on revelations from a higher dimension; some are based on my personal experiences, understanding, and perceptions of life and cosmogony. I don't expect everyone to agree with me on anything written therein unless otherwise a common view or interest is felt; I am only one man with my own opinion on a category of things. However, the most significant factors written in this publication such as the origin of man, the distinction of races, and anything with a religious aspect, are from my personal exegesis from the main Source; The Bible.

Chapter Three

Discrimination and Racism Mean Hatred

As a black man, I have heard of so many discriminatory incidents and injustice that people of my complexion have suffered in the past, subtly even today in our communities, and I feel helpless that I'm not in the position to give solace to victims of those hateful treatments. Even to this day the effects never dissipate, they linger with me, ravaging my soul, and then I would find myself wondering about certain factors. I have watched documentaries, I have heard from the news over the radio, and on television, I have read from books, magazines and newspapers, about black people being battered, murdered and mistreated, even in the most famous establishments, just for being who...
