Anténor Firmin, who broke the race science of his century, dies in exile
Haitian
Anténor Firmin died on 19 September 1911, in exile on St. Thomas. He was born 18 October 1850. A barrister, a philosopher and an anthropologist, he answered Gobineau’s Essay on the Inequality of the Human Races with De l’égalité des races humaines in 1885 — a book Europe ignored for a hundred years. He ran for the presidency in 1902, lost, and never saw Haiti again.
