By scientific Evidence Adam and Eve would have to have been black/African.. Its has been known all tribes and races came from Africa and went their separate ways each becoming what they are today.
From evidence aswell, Jesus was more likely black than the roman depictions that came to dominate the idea of his appearance due to the Vatican influence. Jesus was made to look like Zeus and other Roman/Greek gods. This was their idea of the perfect man and painters/Artist were forced to look at them as inspiration to depict someone called the son of God.

When I was younger, I remember looking at children illustrated Bibles (book of bible stories) all the characters were white even the Egyptians. A black child only exposed to the achievements of a another race and having his color associated with evil, unholyness etc would subconsciously develop a degree of inferiority complex which later goes to affect small decisions they make, compounding into larger decisions and eventually a snowball effect that is damaging to the black race in general.

So I had the idea to illustrate a bible with black characters only. I also intend on giving a visual identity to popular and unpopular black stories later on. I call the bible "The Bible Awakened" it's still in the works.

What do you think, do you believe a Bible with only white characters does hidden harm to Africans or do you think depicting God and other reverenced figures as blacks is a mis-step.

Yes we are. Hopefully we can catch up with the rest of the world, mentally and technology wise

Update
So I've done a few more illustrations, I've decided to capture epic moments, like Moses talk with God on the Mountain, Splitting of the red sea etc. The plan is to have about 50 of theses Illustrated
