I have really been aspired by this man by watching recordings of him on youtube, reading his books, and trying to learn everything that he has researched. I'm lost for words to see that this great person has passed on..all i feel as though i can do now is pick up his books and the legacy that he has left behind and learn from that. This is truly a man that i will miss..i never have the opportunity of meeting him, but those who have must of been a great experience. I am glad to hear that he seemed really on the human level. Rest in peace brother.

And Dr. Van Sertima was also a wonderful, gracious, and giving of his wealth of knowledge and spirit, human being. I had the great pleasure and privilege to hear his lectures on numerous occasions.

Nwachukwu, Sr. Mon, 01 Jun 2009 23:28:58 +0000 http://www.burdenclothing.com/pages/blog/?p=2032#comment-1126 I had the privilege and honor to meet Professor Ivan Van Sertima in 2000 when he was gracious to accept my invitation to attend the maiden annual African Solidarity Council conference in Washington, DC, marking the 100th anniversary of the Pan-Africanim Movement. His Special Presentation on "They Came Before Columbus" was captivating, enriching and deep. One year later, in 2001, Professor Van Sertima returned as an honored Special Guest at the 101st anniversary of the Pan-Africanism Movement. I am grateful I was once in his presence and listened to him talk and share his great love for Africa and its people. The Africa Solidarity Council, Inc. will dearly miss him but will for ever remember him. Adieu, Professor Van Sertima.

Dr. Ivan Van Sertima has MANY books, videos and recorded lectures on the Afrikan presence in many parts of the world. He's given us GREAT, hands-on, well-researched (and unjustly-criticized by "others") findings that the "other" historians have 'missed' or don't really don't care to include in the so-called HIS-story books. I am grateful that this brotha has graced me with his presence and left behind a legacy of OUR connected history that we can feast on for years to come. I had last seen the beloved Dr. Ivan Van Sertima, was EXACTLY 11 years ago (May 30, 1998) to the day he passed... He will be GREATLY missed by me and NEVER EVER forgotten. Peace, Love & Light. ~Sy.
