I 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.

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.

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

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’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
