Welcome Director Khalil Gibran Muhammad

Welcome Sir:

On the face value of the appointment of Khalil Gibran Muhammad as Director it appears to be an excellent choice. The interview has a Father passing on the Heritage Mantle to a Son emergence.

As a 45 year Harlem born research historian in African Thoughts in America and Africa, and co-Founder of the Harlem Institute for Egyptological Research (1967) you are welcomed to Harlem. I hope Dr. Khalil Gibran would fulfill the historical and testimonial title, of author J. A. Roger’s “Africa’s Gift to America” as a continuum of pre-ancient Negroid history.

I hope Professor Dodson and Dr. Muhammad honor and connect the legacy of Walter B. Hill, Jr., a longtime archivist and historian at the National Archives and a leading authority on the documentation of African Americans in the Federal records. The Federal records of the Tuskegee Machine’s scientist George Washington Carver and entrepreneur Booker T. Washington should be a permanent feature in the Schomburg Library. The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture construct a Schomburg-Tuskegee Research Machine for the 21st Century.

Also, I hope during Dr. Muhammad’s tenure the proof that Ancient Egypt was founded, built, nourished, and advanced by the Negroid people of Africa without question or doubt without any interference from external or foreign input.

May the ancient African authors of Ethiopia, Khem, Zimbabwe, Carthage, Timbuktu, and Australia be heard in its true eloquence.

I SHARED this interview on Facebook and a friend responded: Wesley Gray ‎@ Sayeed: “Thanks for posting, brings a sigh of relief, knowing that the baton is being passed onto capable hands and one who is approachable and committed to the common good of our community and the society at large.”
