J. A. Rogers is a very diligent and prolific author of some 10 books. Among them, Sex and Race in three volumes, World's Great Men and Women of Color and Africa’s Gift To America. Rogers' books will not let us rest, nor remain comfortable with man-made racial terms. Rogers admitted, however, that to determine who was Black in America required an expert whose first qualification was to be “crazy”. His intent was to denounce the idea of race, other than, of course, the human race or human sentients. His research on known civilizations uncovered evidence of African ancestry in many a household name, which by current laws and customs would be Black or of African origin.
Rogers used history, historical events and personalities, supported by massive evidence to demonstrate the accuracy of human history, composed mainly of triumph and failure by people or members of a human race.
During an episode of Tony Brown’s Journal, in 1972, I interviewed Dr. Hollis Lynch, director of the Institute of African Studies at Columbia University in New York. I asked Dr. Lynch to give me his personal assessment of J. A. Rogers as a historian. Dr. Lynch responded by stating that “Rogers was the most significant popular historian of Black people in his time. Unfortunately, he's been very sadly neglected by academic historians. But there is no question at all that he was a most impressive man and historian.”

Who Is Tony Brown?
The first thing you must have to obtain true freedom is the knowledge of who you are
I am a child of the Creator of us all and a part of the ALL, the ultimate force that represents the intelligence of everything that exists as the composite force in the universe.
Some of our ancestors in ancient Alkebulan were often Ancient Masters of specialized spiritual wisdom, very unlike the religious nut jobs of both past and present, passed down our true history as a universal human race. Unfortunately, today’s race religions of militant fanaticism that have engulfed the Middle East and are infecting much of the gullible West today will not get you through the front doors or meet the higher standards of any higher plane of spiritual consciousness in our multiverse because of their complete omission of the steps necessary for the requirements of the spiritual development of humanity/evolution.
Therefore, while I am stuck on this lower plane of consciousness and I am ruled by the tribal-mindedness of its population, I must adapt and overcome these man-made shortcomings, such as a faith in mythical “races” that never existed in the first place.
Historian J. A. Rogers
In order to do so I must first be protected by society with the necessary freedoms and belief in human rights. Therefore, I require privacy, liberty, justice and freedom of expression because, without them, I cannot advance the spiritual development that is required. The framers of the American Constitution, often largely advanced Freemasons who had studied Ancient Egyptian/African history, understood this broader concept of humanity. For proof of my assertion, just look at the US dollar and the symbols the West has adopted from African origins and you will see a symbolic prediction of America’s and civilization’s future. In fact, world civilization is a legacy of the Ancient Egyptian – African civilization. It is Africa’s Gift to the World, as J. A. Rogers taught in his famous book.

I was so impressed by that ideal that when I became financially stable and started a freedom currency (“freedoms”) of my own to encourage Blacks to circulate a larger percentage of their enormous wealth within in their own communities (currently Blacks share only about 4% of their gross income with one another), I used a picture on my Freedom Dollar of The Great Sphinx of Ghizeh to communicate what freedom meant to me and to give that ideal its true color: “The Only Color of Freedom Is Green,” I wrote in 1985.
Finally, being closer to the age of 100 than I am to the age of 50, I now “realize” the inner meaning of the Sphinx: I AM, and as are all other human beings who are descended from our common Creator – of African ancestry. I am Black – of an Egyptian hue made in the image of the ALL, a Sphinx man who serves in its own light of truth.

In legend, the Egyptian Horus taught of a symbolic rebirth in heaven. The Ancient Egyptians largely believed their ancestors were responsible for Paradise, similar to the primary “Paradise of Earth,” the original Earthly Paradise of the Christian Bible, situated in the papyrus field of reeds in the South of ancient Egypt. There was also, according to this legend, the Heavenly Paradise (Horus, et. al.), which is represented today as a combination of Lion, Ox, Eagle and Man, which is, you guessed it, the archetype Sphinx. In the Christian version, these symbols survive as St. Matthew, St. Mark, St. Luke and St. John in that religious legend.
The Stellar Cult of the Egyptian God Horus was the first of a long line of Sun gods or Chrishnas or Saviors or Christs of the modern and ancient Middle-Eastern and Eastern religions. The proper title of such an illuminated contemporary modern god is The Christ or Chrishna. Uranographically, this archetype is the Big Bear constellation, which was first imaged as Hapi, Taumutf, Kabhsemif and Amstal, which were known later in ancient Egypt as Lion, Ox, Eagle and Man (the Sphinx). However, if you look at its genesis, its name is The Sphinx and its origin is Alkebulan, The Mother of Civilization, or Africa, as she is currently known.
