Science was soon brought into play to support the religious justification of slavery by presenting Africans as lower on evolutionary scale. These portrayals and perceptions helped to delay abolition of slavery and served to confine the majority of black people to lowly positions and occupations in Western societies. For over a decade, Gordon de la Mothe has used images as his point of departure in his teaching. His study of the social and historical context in which the derogatory images of Africans were constructed leads to a recognition of their distortion and inaccuracy."
