A credited research trail
Go deeper, one source at a time.
Start with the maps reproduced in Remembering YAH, browse the historical books, then follow the external indexes. Dante Fortson and Black History In The Bible are credited for the research leads they assembled. These entries distinguish source records, interpretations and items still awaiting passage-level verification.
This is an expanding catalog of recovered sources, not a complete reproduction of Fortson’s websites. His full articles, videos and broader catalog remain available through the credited links.

Moll’s map of Africa

Explore the full historical map associated with the book’s inquiry into West African place-names. Examine the coast and the labels in their geographical setting.
Source notes
Discovery trail: Dante Fortson’s BHITB map exhibit. A place-name resemblance is a research question; it does not by itself establish a biblical tribal identity.
A catalog lead for the African atlas discussed alongside the Judaeorum Terra label. Compare the actual sheet, its lettering and its geographical context.
Source notes
BHITB and the cited 1920 discussion refer to Tabula X. The reproduction examined in Remembering YAH visibly reads Tabula XII. Keep those sheet references distinct.
Follow the archive record for the multi-sheet map discussed with the Lamlem, Falasjam and coastal place-name inquiry. Inspect the record and full image together.
Source notes
BHITB labels its exhibit 1774; its reproduced image filename identifies 1766. The precise edition of that reproduction remains unresolved in the book.
An external starting point for documents and scholarly resources organized by historical period and subject. Its listings distinguish primary texts from secondary discussions.
Source notes
Use the individual document’s author, date and editorial context when taking notes. The collection is not a single theological viewpoint.
A book-length historical argument, with the African community map referenced by BHITB near page 266. Read the map alongside the author’s discussion.
Source notes
The archive record confirms author and publication year. A community label on a historical map and demonstrated ancestry are different kinds of evidence.
Fortson’s bibliography points to this government memorandum in connection with the Igbo and Biafra inquiry.
Source notes
The government archive returned a technical error during verification. Retained as a clearly marked bibliographic lead; the text is not reproduced here.
Follow the bibliography behind Fortson’s presentation, including archive scans, geographical works and later scholarship.
