The First Americans, Afrikans In Ancient China, and Australian Afrikans


Dr. Kwaku to teach 5 class mini-series beginning May 9. See Info below!


Dr. Ivan Van Sertima and Attorney Legrand Clegg II were the first to educate us about Afrikans from the Nile Valley inhabiting the Americas almost 1000 years before Columbus' voyages. For years, there has been speculation that Afrikans may have been the first to inhabit the Americas, not the Asians who crossed the Iberian Peninsula, and ultimately became known as Native Americans. This is one of the subjects we will explore this Friday.

We will also look at one of the hidden stories in ancient history, the Afrikan involvement in the establishment of ancient China. There is very strong evidence that the first empires of China, supported by DNA evidence, were of Afrikan descent.

Lastly, we will look at the Afrikans in Australia through the experience of David Gupilil, the leading Australian Afrikan actor who lives interestingly in his traditional culture, as well as western civilization. He has starred in such films as, 'Rabbit Proof Fence', and 'The Tracker'.

Afrikan World Civilizations Class happens in the Fall and Spring, for 11 Fridays from 7-9 p.m. at Kaos Studios in Leimert Park, 4343 Leimert Blvd. (corner of Leimert and 43rd Place) in Los Angeles. Our email address is: DrKwaku@hotmail.com.
