• W339968385 abstract "Gershom Williams (bennuinstitute@yahoo.com) is a cultural historian, teacher, lecturer, bibliophile and community activist. For over thirty years he has conducted extensive study and research into the pre and post enslavement heritage of continental and Diasporan Africans. His special areas of interest and concentration have been in the African origins of humanity, the African presence and influence on Nile Valley/Egyptian and Western Civilizations and the foundational impact of ancient African people on Judeo-Christian and Islamic religions. He is currently is a professor of African American and United States history at Mesa Community College in Mesa, Arizona. He has taught for the Maricopa Community College District for 20 years, he is a founding member of the East Valley Kwanzaa Committee, and he is a co-founder of The Bennu Institute of Arizona. He attended Indiana University where he majored in African American Studies and Sociology, and he has an honorary D.D. from Amen-Ra Theological Seminary. Also, he has served as president of the African American Historical and Genealogical Society in Arizona, and published essays in the Arizona Informant newspaper, the Journal of African Civilizations, The Journal of Pan African Studies (print and electronic), Odyssey West Magazine, and The Desert Griot. Acknowledgements As guest editor of this seminal volume of scholarly essays celebrating the intellectual life and work of Haitian scholar and statesman Joseph Antenor Firmin (1850-1911), there are several extraordinary individuals that are worthy and deserving of our deepest thanks and appreciation. First, The Journal of Pan African Studies (JPAS) expresses its appreciation to Larry Obadele Williams who first mentioned the name Antenor Firmin and the title of his monumental 1885 text during one of our long distance phone exchanges from Atlanta, Georgia to Phoenix, Arizona in the spring of 2012. Next, I must extend my sincerest gratitude to the senior editor of JPAS, Itibari Zulu, who readily embraced my idea and trusted my vision for the journal to host this special edition (and a print edition) that would remember and pay homage to the pioneering work of Firmin as an anthropologist, Egyptologist and pan-Africanist in the late nineteenth century. We also acknowledge and give thanks to Asselin Charles for his recommendation of Celucien Joseph as a credible and qualified scholar who could translate the essay on Antenor Firmin written and published in French by the renowned Congolese Egyptologist Dr. Theophile Obenga, a longtime friend and colleague of Cheikh Anta Diop,. Next, we acknowledge Dr. Mario Beatty of Howard University and international president of the Association for the Study of Classical African Civilizations (ASCAC), who contacted Dr. Obenga on behalf of JPAS to gain permission to translate and re-publish his essay on Firmin for an English speaking audience. Therefore, we thank Dr. Beatty for his invaluable assistance, and Dr. Obenga for granting us permission to publish his essay. Much appreciation and thanks also go to Celucien L. Joseph who vigorously worked on translating Dr. Obenga's essay while completing his own essay to contribute to this special issue. Thanks to all of our contributing writers for their support and patience with this challenging but rewarding literary project for students and researchers in anthropology, ancient Egyptian studies, Haitian/Caribbean studies, Africana Studies, Pan-African Studies and Colonial/Post-Colonial studies. And last, I express my warm and sincerest thanks to my beloved wife and soul mate of almost forty years, Mrs. Deborah Kirkendall-Williams. Mrs. Williams patiently and faithfully served as typist and proof reader of my personal paper as well as my introduction. May the creator and the ancestors be pleased! Gershom Williams, D.D.
