How Afrikan Scholars Are Winning the Fight to Reclaim Our Public Spaces

Removing a Gandhi statue in Africa is not just symbolic — it is a direct act of Abibifahodie. Across the continent and the diaspora, Afrikan people are demanding that our institutions reflect our dignity. Furthermore, they are demanding that our public spaces honor our ancestors — not those who openly degraded and dehumanized us. This powerful lecture by Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon, architect of Abibitumi and world-renowned Pan-Afrikan linguist, shows exactly how that demand becomes reality.

In this recording, Ɔbenfo Kambon walks you through the precise, real-world steps he personally took to remove Gandhi’s statue from the University of Ghana. He did not theorize from a distance. Instead, he organized, educated, and acted — working alongside colleagues at UG and within the broader community. His efforts included interviews, articles, public debates, and presentations that exposed Gandhi’s lifetime of documented anti-Black thoughts, words, and deeds. As a result, the statue came down. That is not rhetoric. That is a blueprint.

Removing a Gandhi Statue in Africa: A Real Blueprint for Community Power

Most importantly, this lecture gives our people something rare — a concrete, documented example of substantive change. Too often, liberation remains abstract. However, Ɔbenfo Kambon grounds Abibifahodie in action. He demonstrates that scholars, students, parents, and community builders all have a role to play. In addition, he shows that education is not separate from organizing — it is the foundation of it. Every interview he gave, every article he wrote, moved the community closer to victory. You can do the same in your community.

This is the work Abibitumi was built to amplify. Therefore, whether you are a student, an organizer, or an elder committed to our people’s liberation, this lecture belongs in your arsenal. Study it. Share it. Apply it. The Kmtyw have always known that our spaces must reflect our values and our truth. Furthermore, when we move with knowledge, strategy, and collective will, we win. Watch this essential lecture and begin building your own blueprint for change.
