"The Universal Man." "The Giant of Knowledge." "The Last Pharaoh." These were the headlines the day after Cheikh Anta Diop's death on February 7, 1986. Thirty years later, KEMTIYU paints a portrait of Diop, a trail-blazing scholar with an insatiable thirst for science and knowledge as well as an honest, enlightened political figure, venerated by some, decried by others, and unknown to most.
