3828563743?profile=originalI want to tell you about my day in the museum.  You know that my daughter lives just outside Paris and so I come here to France to spend as much time as possible with her.  Today, after taking her to school, I went to the Louvre to test out my new camera.  Yes, I brought a new camera a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to take it to a museum to give it a try.  I don't know if I am satisfied with the camera but I had one of productive and rewarding days I've ever spent in a museum.

Runoko Rashidi in Georgia and Alabama

How are you?  Runoko Rashidi is fine.  No international trips since Zimbabwe 

a couple of weeks ago but I did spend several days in Atlanta, Georgia and 
Huntsville, Alabama.

I journeyed to Atlanta last week to speak at the Nile Valley Conference II.  
I spoke at the first Nile Valley Conference way back in September 1984.  It 
was my first really big conference and it helped make a name for me there.  
This was a different kind of conference but it was still a very good one.  
Many of the world

bRunoko Rashidi ~

  Four days ago I returned to the United States from a week long trip to 
Harare, Zimbabwe where I was a guest of UNESCO and the Government of 
Zimbabwe.  The purpose of the visit was to help prepare curriculum content 
and a teacher's guide for the teaching of history in African public schools.  
The goal is to complete the project within the next eighteen months.  

The UNESCO gathering was a wonderful experience and a big honor, although the 
African Diaspora itself was n

THE LIFE & LEGACY OF JOEL AUGUSTUS ROGERS: CHRONICLER OF A GLORIOUS AFRICAN 
PAST

By RUNOKO RASHIDI
    
THIS WORK IS DEDICATED TO DR. JOHN HENRIK CLARKE

CRITICAL ASSESSMENTS OF JOEL AUGUSTUS ROGERS

Although Joel Augustus Rogers was largely self-trained, some of the most 
distinguished scholars of the twentieth century have acknowledged our debt to 
him. Dr. William E.B. DuBois (1868-1963), perhaps the greatest scholar in 
American history, wrote that, "No man living has revealed so many important 
facts

Greetings Family,

How are you?  I am entering the fourth day of my second trip to Zimbabwe.  My 
first trip, in 2000, took me to Bulawayo and surrounding villages, the ruins 
of Great Zimababwe and the magnificent (no other word comes close to 
describing it) waterfalls of Mosi Oa Tunya ("The smoke that thunders").  This 
time I am in the capital of Zimbabwe--Harare.

The occasion of my current visit to Zimbabwe is the Pedagogical Use of the 
General History of Africa Project

Greetings Brothers and Sisters,


Many institutions are sending end-of-year mailings soliciting funds for their 
cause.  In our midst is the greatest cause who was not afraid to speak and 
share knowledge, truth, OUR STORY – SAIS (Egypt -- KMT).  Fund raising for 
Dr. Ben is the least that can be done on his behalf.

Dr. Ben’s birthday is just around the corner, December 31st.  Let’s celebrate 
our tremendous and powerful teacher by sending financial donations in Dr. 
Ben’s honor!  As an outgoing indivi

Runoko Rashidi: We still have in our midst a great pillar standing. He, (Dr. Ben) has written numerous books that have enlightened the minds of many, including white folks. He pioneered the first group tours to Egypt long before many of us were born and when it was unpopular in the black community to want anything to do with “going back to Africa”. 99% of Dr. Ben’s research and analysis, and preaching and teaching to anyone who would listen, was grossly underpaid and while in his younger years

Dr. Yosef ben-Jochannan, Update

Greetings Family, How are you? I am a little tired but I am okay. It is a busy time for me. African-American Heritage Month or Black History Month or whatever you choose to call this time of year is very demanding, and the scholars tend to really push themselves during this time. Last weekend I lectured in Detroit and Chicago and right now I am in the middle of an Ohio lecture series. I am trying to get at least a few hours of sleep every night. My diet could be a lot better but I am drinking a

Runoko Rashidi Okello: Greetings Family, How are you? Things are okay on this end. I just spent five full days in and around New York City.

I took some excellent photos that I hope to share with you over the months to come. And, on Sunday afternoon, I went to the borough of the Bron
