The
culmination of the life of Cheikh Anta Diop is the work of a multi-genius that dared challenge the whole
world. Not only on a scholarly level but on a
world view that changed the world politically as well as educationally. Cheikh Anta Diop went to great lengths to show that Africa was
the cradle of civilization and
also that all of the high cultures were started by Black Africans. The
reason for the emphasis on Black is because Africa is everyone’s home. His idea was to place a racial distinction that was considered
something bad and use that
against them to show that this same racial identity was the beginning of the high cultures of mankind. Cheikh through his undaunted search for truth changed the
world
