Chinweizu Ibekwe, Ph.D.
Chinweizu Ibekwe, Ph.D. is a Nigerian critic, poet, and journalist. He is the author of the classical works: “The West and The Rest of US” and “Decolonizing the African Mind.”
Dr Chinweizu has put a spotlight on the largely ignored process of forced ‘Arabization’ and anti-African genocide that has been taking place across Northern Africa for hundreds of years. He also questions the pursuit of what he terms ‘Continentalist pan-Africanism’ by most African pan-Africanists given this foregoing racialized assault by Arabs and Arabized Africans; and instead suggests that the pursuit of Black Power pan-Africanism is a more rational concept for African (black) people to organize around.

Browder is the first African-Americans to fund and coordinate an archaeological dig in Egypt and has led five archaeological missions to Egypt since 2009.
Browder’s three decades of study have led him to the conclusion that ancient Africans were the architects of civilization and developed the rudiments of what has become the scientific, religious and philosophical backbone of mankind.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.
We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.
Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.
We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.
If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
