Visiting lecturers will present an insightful view into Africa?s religious past and the effects of globalisation on the earth and people of African descent.

Ashra Kwesi and Merira Kwesi will speak on Saturday at the Fairmont Hamilton Princess at 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.

The lectures, which are being presented by Zentech Productions in association with HOTT 107.5 FM are ?The African Origins of Christianity ? The Stolen Religion from Egypt and Ethiopia? and the other is ?Environmental Racism: A Global Genocide Devastating the Earth and Black People?.

The husband and wife team are lecturers on African history, civilisation, religion and culture.

They present lively and dynamic slide presentation productions and videos based on their extensive study and travel on the African continent. Their startling and revealing information on the African origin of many of the concepts and symbols now utilised by the western world is due to their focus on the ancient African Nile Valley.

They also conduct the annual Kemet Nu (Black People) ?Know Thyself? Educational Tours to Egypt and Ethiopia, where they link the historical with the present by means of visual documentation to bring the black people?s story to life. Mr. Kwesi is a historian and lecturer on ancient African history and religion. He reveals first-hand information from the temples, tombs and papyrus papers recorded when African people were teachers of the world. His compelling lectures are based on 25 years of historical expeditions in Africa, covering Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya and Ghana. Fourteen of those were spent as an apprentice to the renowned scholar, Dr. Yosef ben Jochannan.

Mrs. Kwesi is a lecturer on African fashion and culture and she presents intriguing lectures and elaborate continental fashion productions based on her studies and many years of travel. She unmasks the fa?ade of many of the western world institutions to expose the ancient African roots of many of the symbols and concepts used today.
