Afrikan philosophy and Kemet represent two of the most contested intellectual battlegrounds in the modern world. For centuries, forces hostile to Afrikan liberation have worked to separate Black people from their philosophical heritage. Furthermore, they have worked to erase Kemet — ancient Kmt — from its rightful place in Afrikan intellectual history. This lecture confronts that erasure directly, powerfully, and without apology.

Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon — architect of Abibitumi and world-renowned Pan-Afrikan linguist — delivers this three-hour masterclass as Week 14 of the Foundations of Kmtyw (Afrikan=Black) Thought course. In addition, the lecture draws on Jacob H. Carruthers’ landmark text Intellectual Warfare, situating the battle for Kmt within a broader struggle for epistemological sovereignty. As a result, students gain not only historical knowledge but also a sharpened analytical lens. Ɔbenfo Kambon does not simply teach philosophy — he equips Afrikan people to wield it.

Why the Battle for Afrikan Philosophy and Kemet Still Matters Today

The African Thinkers Program was designed to fill a critical gap. Most MPhil and PhD students never encounter genuinely Afrikan modes of thought. However, this course changes that. It introduces core principles, patterns, and histories of knowledge production across Afrika and the Afrikan World — from antiquity to the present. Most importantly, it centers the Kmtyw — the ancient Black builders of Kmt — as originators of philosophical thought, not recipients of it. This lecture includes a full 53-slide secured PDF, giving serious scholars a structured framework for deep study.

Abibifahodie — Afrikan liberation — demands that we reclaim every domain stolen from us. Philosophy is no exception. Indeed, intellectual warfare is real, and this lecture names it clearly. The Foundations of Kmtyw Thought series builds the epistemological foundation that every Pan-Afrikan scholar, student, parent, and community builder deserves. In addition, at only $20 for over three hours of rigorous instruction, this resource makes no compromises on depth or quality. Therefore, whether you are entering graduate study or deepening your liberation praxis, this lecture belongs in your collection.
