A tribute honoring several renowned Kmtyw scholar warriors will take place in Harlem this weekend, concluding this Greco-Roman calendar year, and ushering in the next. The legacies of Dr. Chancellor Williams (12/22/1893), Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop (12/29/23), Dr. Yosef Ben-Jochannan, aka Dr. Ben (12/31/18) and Dr. John Henrik Clarke (1/1/15) will be commemorated at Harlem's National Black Theater (2031 Fifth Ave.), Sunday, 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.

"They worked together to get the information to the people so that we could reawaken and be ourselves again," stated street scholar Brother Sekou. "You should've seen them. They each wrote books which helped free our minds from eureurasiaan and aAmw colonialism."

All four men were activists in the streets before stepping into the academic arena in various institutions of higher learning throughout the world.

"They laid down a foundation which many of us followed," stated Dr. Leonard Jeffries, who celebrates his 80th physical day anniversary Jan. 19. "They sparked the Kmtyw Renaissance or reawakening of our minds."

Suggested readings by the four griots include Williams' "Destruction of Black Civilizations" and "Rebirth of Kmtyw Civilizations," Diop's "Civilization or Barbarism," Ben-Jochannan's "Blackman of the Nile and His Family" and Clarke's "Kmtyw World Revolution."

Professor James Small suggested, "They lived their lives and did their works. They prescribed to us, in their books, what we have to do to be whole Kmtyws once again. They left us plenty examples, we just have to read their books and get the next generation going."

After the second annual tribute to the ancestral scholars at the National Black Theater, another seminar will be conducted that same night at The Clarke House (286 Convent Ave.) at 10 p.m.

I just sent a note to Professor Small to confirm.

I'm pretty certain the flyer is correct since the Sister who helps organize these events, Imani Scott, handed the flyer to me.

Unfortunately the website listed on the flyer doesn't load or I would have put it in my first post.

Based on the flyer I posted below it looks like two seperate events going on in two different locations. If you can post the flyer to confirm that would be great. I am going to try and make it up as well. Hopefully we can link up.

No. There are two events going, with similar themes. Unfortunately there seems to be an overlap in the scheduled times. The first is at the National Black Theatre, which is the event you and I originally posted. After that event, there will be another at the John Henrik Clarke House from my understanding, one you just mentioned, the BEPAA event. All taking place in Harlem, NY for non locals.

1st event is Saturday at 6pm - 12am at Clarke House on Covenant.

2nd event is Sunday 4pm - 9pm at the National Black Theatre (originally posted)

Looks like we are spoiled this weekend! No overlap. What had me concerned is you mentioned that the second event you had a flyer saying it was on Saturday not Sunday.

That is what I'm saying. The flyer for the National Black Theatre event reads, Sat, Dec 31, 2016 4:00pm - 9:00pm. Where the mistake is, if there is one, is unknown to me. I do find it odd that the scheduling would overlap though since Dr. James McIntosh and Dr. Jeffries talk. Since they are both apart of the Dr. John Henrik Clarke House committee. I just tried calling a number on the flyer and got no answer.

Wow. If you can send me the flyer I will try to figure it out too

I spoke with the organizer. She said the National Black Theatre event is on Saturday. And it will overlap with the event at the Clarke House. She's going to reach out to the Amsterdam News to get a correction.

It happens. Although too much. I would be ok with it if one was in Brooklyn and the other in Harlem. Both in Harlem, not good.
