The Colony House, pictured here in 1980, was designed by builder Richard Munday in 1739. The Colony House is architecturally unique for Newport because of it's brick construction. It replaced an earlier wooden structure dating from 1687. Munday was familiar, through prints and drawings, of the baroque classicism of Sir Christopher Wren. The use of brick as a construction material suggests Wren's influence, as brick trimmed with free stone was common to his designs. Munday is also noted for his design of Newport's Trinity Church. Before construction of the McKim, Mead & White's Rhode Island State House in Providence, the Colony House, along with four other state houses, were used in rotation by the governor and legislature. ; https://digitalcommons.ric.edu/ri_architecture/1004/thumbnail.jpg

This article builds on Chancellor Williams' "new approach" in the study of African history to analyze Black philosophical condition through different movements of Black thought in the form of birth, death, rebirth, and internal and external enemy. It argues that Blacks created the earliest age-intelligence system of thought in the pre-colony; that European conquests of Black sites through slavery, colonization, and neo-colonialism reshaped Black philosophical condition along the lines of irrationality, servitude, absence, and negation; and that contemporary Black philosophical condition is marked by enmity. Thus, the paper engages with significant accomplishments of Black thought from pre-colony to post-colony, the philosophers' war against Blacks, Black revolutionary ideologies, as well as Black enemy and the enemy of the Black. It concludes by highlighting the need for current and future philosophers to reposition African system of thought in age-intelligence philosophy.
