"Soil Brother" Malik Yakini reporting in that Dr. Ben is doing well and in attendance at the 30th Annual ASCAC Ancient Kemetic Studies Conference held March 14-17, 2013 at Howard University, Washington, DC. He is our beloved scholar on the Ancient African Contributions to World history. He made it clear that African History began way before slavery or before there was modern civilization.
Below is an interview done by Dr. Gil Noble on his journey of Ancient African History. Lets take a moment to learn about this awesome Elder Scholar as well as the journey of people of African Ancestry. For those who have not heard him speak, I advise that you go get your note pad. You may even click link below final interview to browse his book collection available on amazon.com.
