The man who returned the Black Pharaohs back to our Mother Africa

“The Kemetic story of the abuse of Truth by Falsehood symbolically anticipates the life work of Cheikh Anta Diop. He found his father, Truth, shackled and abused, and he set out to avenge him.

- Khabyr Hadas

Diop saw African Heritage slandered and dethroned, with an impostor in its place, and he dedicated himself to overthrow the impostor and the re-enthronement of the African truth.”

Jacob H. Carruthers, Intellectual Warfare

We must reclaim, restore, and resurrect our Black history now--more than any time before. The national attempt to assault and erase our history is in full operation, and our kujichagulia (self-determination) will determine the future progress and improvement of our race. As I write this article, countless institutional and administrative mandates to remove the works and scholarship of our brilliant Senegalese historian and Anthropologist, Cheikh Anta Diop--have saturated certain racist agendas.

The question I would like Scoop readers to continually ask themselves is, Why?

- Why have European scholars, teachers, writers, invaders, and conquerors attacked the truth of Black excellence?

- Why was it necessary to distort and blow off the noses and facial features of colossal Black monuments of grandeur such as the mighty Heremakhet (Sphinx)?

- Why were the great libraries of ancient Kemet and Songhai burned, looted, and destroyed?

- Why was it deemed necessary to tell the world that Pharaonic Egypt was absolutely not an African Civilization?

History teaches that classical European writers, such as Herodotus, Aristotle, and Diodorus, at some point in time, had permission from our African ancestors to study in Egypt.
