IKG Cultural Resource Center

IKG is an educational organization devoted to the re-discovery and application of ancient African history, culture and wisdom. It was founded in 1981 by “Cultural Memory Specialist” Anthony Browder who sought to challenge distorted perceptions of Africa perpetuated in media and classrooms.

As the architects of civilization, ancient Africans developed the humanizing principles which established the foundation for world civilization. It is within this framework that IKG concentrates its research and disseminates its findings in an effort to demystify history and present knowledge that can be readily applied in a practical and personal manner.
