432. THAT THE MOORS OR AFRICANS SEEK TO BE WHITE I have heard that the Moors or the negroes, such as the Africans, in the other life do not desire to be black, but white. After they have been prepared they esteem whiteness as beauty, because the angels of God Messiah are all a shining white, and those who are interior, love to be clothed in white garments. 1747, Dec. 30.
