Greetings Family,
How are you? It is not often that I write anymore here as most of my time is spent on Facebook. So I hope that all is well with you. Indeed, I guess that it is not too late to wish you a Hapi New Year.
I am okay. My book, Black Star: African Presence in Early Europe has been a big boost for me and has kept me busy. God willing I will have four more new books out before the end of the year. Two will be in French and two in English. And I have several more in my head and on my computer. Would love to do some children's books, another English language book on Asia, something on historians, a book on the Black presence in Asia and the Pacific, and a book on the history of human zoos. Also, I was just interviewed for the video documentary Hidden Colors 2. I think that my good brother Tony Browder and sister Michelle Alexander will soon be interviewed also.
I am especially grateful to the organization the d'Zert Club for hosting me throughout the month of January. On a sad note, the funeral of my father-in-law is tomorrow. My daughter is taking her grandfather's passing very hard. But life goes on for the living and we have to go on with it.
Right now I am in Boston and will begin my Black History Month here with a guided tour of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. After that I head to the Midwest--Chicago, Indianapolis, Gary, and Champaign-Urbana before I return to Los Angeles next week. As a matter of fact, the hotel that I am staying in in Boston right now is the same hotel that our beloved Malcolm X worked at back in the day!
So be well sisters and brothers and don't forget about me. I am staying active as a lecturer and writer and leading tours to Paris, Senegal and Gambia in April, Egypt and Nubia in July and maybe Ghana and Brazil later in the year.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot to tell you--yesterday three Boston City Councilmen signed a proclamation officially naming January 30, 2012 as Dr. Runoko Rashidi Day in Boston, MA! How about that!
In love of Africa,
