Black self-identification in Kmt is not a modern invention — it is an ancient, documented truth our ancestors encoded into their language. Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon, world-renowned Pan-Afrikan linguist and architect of Abibitumi, brings this truth forward with precision and power. In this landmark lecture, he dismantles centuries of miseducation. Furthermore, he does so using the very linguistic and cultural records that colonizers worked hard to obscure.

How Black Self-Identification in Kmt Grounds Our Liberation Today

The Kmtyw — the people of classical Kmt — called themselves Black. This was not metaphor. It was identity, nationhood, and sovereignty expressed through language. Ɔbenfo Kambon unpacks the term Kmt(.y.w) with rigorous scholarly depth. In addition, he connects this ancient self-naming directly to the living project of Abibifahodie — Afrikan liberation. As a result, this session becomes far more than a history lesson. It becomes a mirror.

Most importantly, this lecture calls us to reclaim what was always ours. Ɔbenfo Kambon shows us that our ancestors built their identity on a foundation of Blackness — unapologetically, structurally, spiritually. Moreover, that foundation aligns directly with the principles of Ma’at that guide Abibitumi’s mission today. This is not coincidence. This is continuity. Pan-Afrikan scholars, students, parents, and community builders will find deep nourishment here.
