They will share enlightening facts they uncovered in they extensive research. They will reveal evidence pointing to the ethnicity of Adam, Eve, and other prominent Biblical personalities, including Jesus! They discovered that an acceptance of the issue of People Of Color In The Bible offers great benefits to all: self-esteem is heightened, racism is honestly addressed, drugs and violence are effectively countered.
