[edit] Question

Who is Al Christie (clearly we don't mean the filmmaker who died in 1951), and what's the significance of this meeting? Dvyost 19:59, 21 June 2005 (UTC)

[edit] generated afrocentrism

What does it mean that his 1998 book "generated afrocentrism"? This seems strange. Smmurphy^(Talk) 04:14, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

This comment does not refer to the current article. Asante's book did not generate Afrocentrism. He wrote the first three books on Afrocentricity.Masante 01:08, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
