Runoko Rashidi is a historian, research specialist, writer, world traveller, and public lecturer focusing on the African presence globally and the African foundations of world civilizations. He is particularly drawn to the African presence in Asia, Australia , and the Pacific Islands , and has coordinated historic educational group tours to India , Aboriginal Australia, the Fiji Islands and Southeast Asia as well as Egypt , Ghana , Turkey , Jordan and Brazil . Rashidi�s presentations are customized and suitable for all audiences and ages, and are lively, engaging, and vividly illustrated.

Runoko is the author of Introduction to the Study of African Classical Civilizations, the editor, along with Dr. Ivan Van Sertima of Rutgers University , of the African Presence in Early Asia, considered �the most comprehensive volume on the subject yet produced�, and a major pamphlet titled the Global African Community: The African Presence in Asia, Australia and the South Pacific. In 1995, he completed editing Unchained African Voices, a collection of poetry and prose by Death Row inmates at California �s San Quentin maximum-security prison. In December 2005 Editions Monde Global released Runoko�s latest work and his first French language text, A Thousand Year History of the African Presence in Asia .

His historical essays have been prominently featured in virtually all of the critically acclaimed Journal of Civilizations anthologies edited by Dr. Ivan Van Sertima, and cover the broad spectrum of the African presence globally. Rashidi's Journal of African Civilizations essays include: 'African Goddesses: Mothers of Civilization,' 'Ancient and Modern Britons,' 'The African Presence in Prehistoric America,' 'A Tribute to Dr. Chancellor James Williams,' 'Ramses the Great: The Life and Times of a Bold Black Egyptian King,' 'The Moors in Antiquity,' and the 'Nile Valley Presence in Asian Antiquity.'

Included among the notable African scholars that Runoko has worked with and been influenced by are: John Henrik Clarke, John G. Jackson, Yosef ben-Jochannan, Chancellor James Williams, Charles B. Copher, Edward Vivian Scobie, Ivan Van Sertima, Asa G. Hilliard III, Karen Ann Johnson, Obadele Williams, Charles S. Finch, James E. Brunson, Wayne B. Chandler, Legrand H. Clegg II, Dr. Toni Humber, and Jan Carew.

He believes that his principle missions in life are to help make Africans proud of themselves, to help change the way Africa is viewed in the world, and to help reunite a family of people that has been separated far too long.

As a scholar, Runoko Rashidi has been called the world's leading authority on the African presence in Asia . Since 1986, he has worked actively with the Dalits ( India �s Black Untouchables). In 1987, he was a keynote speaker at the first All-India Dalits Writer's Conference, held in Hyderabad, India, and spoke on the 'Global Unity of African People.' In 1998, he returned to India to lecture study and sojourn with the Dalits and Adivasis (the indigenous people of India). In 1999, he led a group of seventeen African-Americans to India , and became the first ever non-Indian recipient of the prestigious Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Memorial Award. On December 5, 2002 Runoko Rashidi was granted an honorary doctor of divinity degree by the Amen-Ra Theological Seminary in Los Angeles, California .
