On November 22, 2015 The Board for the Education of People of African Ancestry will host a lecture by Dr. Molefi K. Asante, the author of over 70 books. He will discuss his book latest book African Pyramids of Knowledge.

I'll be in Atlanta this weekend, but if I could make this lecture I definitely would!

This is MK's dad huh? Nice lineage right there.

Yeah that was not a connection I would have immediately made, because MK's book Buck is the memoir of a kid growing up homeless in the street of a "Killadephia," PA ghetto.

You would enjoy these lectures.

 

I tend to think that lineage had a lot to do with the reach of the book. It's interesting... 10 years ago I was the new, young professor with a book with a main character named Buck, but I ended up selling shoes for a living and that book went absolutely no where. It's good to see a young professor reaching some level of fame through academia. A good dad is an amazing thing.

Often they video these lectures if they do I will share it here.
