In September 2007, a group of scholars gathered in Philadelphia, Pa to celebrate the extraordinary and exemplary achievements of Molefi Kete Asante over the past 35 years. The one-day seminar was organized by Ankh, A Scientific Institute. Its purpose was to engage in a collective reflection about Molefi Kete Asante's already impressive and unique legacy, and draw from it a model to inspire present and future generations of Africans. This book grew out of that memorable meeting. It includes a rich variety of essays which explore Molefi Kete Asante's contributions, while bearing witness to Asante's relentless commitment and tremendous intellectual accomplishments.
