#Professor Molefi Kete Asante delivered the keynote address on the occasion of the conferment of his Honorary Doctorate in Literature by Wits University.
The Dean of the Faculty of #Humanities, Professor Garth Stevens, delivered Professor Asante's illustrious citation, noting Asante's main role in establishing Afrocentric theory and teaching worldwide. This has enabled generations of African scholars to articulate the continent's history and fundamental contributions to humanity from an Africanist perspective.
"Given his contributions to African-centred scholarship and philosophy, as well as his influence on the development of intellectual thought on Africa and the African Diaspora, it is befitting that the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, bestow an honorary degree: Doctor of Literature, on Molefi Kete Asante," said Stevens.
US-born Asante began his address to the hall of graduates in a powerful way, reiterating that 300 000 years ago, the first humans were Africans and that racist and colonial oppression of black people eradicates their profound contribution to civilisation's founding achievements.

I am really inspired, and since I used his Afrocentricity framework in my research, I am his fan and really respect him for not being apologetic for his stance. Alutta Continua
