Abstract Africana studies professor Yosef Alfredo Antonio Ben-Jochannan was born on December 31, 1918. Ben-Jochannan attended the Christian Stead School in St. Croix, United States Virgin Islands. After graduation from high school in 1934, ben-Jochannan received a B.S. degree in civil engineering from the University of Puerto Rico in 1938; and his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in anthropology from the University of Havana. In 1947, he began leading educational tours to Egypt that would span decades. Ben-Jochannan became an adjunct professor at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York in 1976 and stayed in that position for eleven years. Ben-Jochannan published over forty-nine books and papers including We the Black Jews, Black Man of the Nile and His Family, and Africa: Mother of Western Civilizations.
