The Ancient History of Kush: The Books They're Hiding from You
<+> 17 Black Scholars Every Teacher Should Teach <+>
Welcome
The mission of the Queen of Sheba Historical and Educational Research Foundation (QSF) is to educate the public about the impact of African Nile Valley civilizations on ancient and modern society as a means to facilitate maximum intellectual and cultural exchange between America and Africa.
The world today requires a new strategy for cross-cultural engagement with Africa. This strategy should be focused on changing the popular historical narrative and image of Africa from that of suffering and stag- nation to one which emphasizes what Africa has given to the world, rather than what it has lost.

As Africa continues to emerge in the evolving global marketplace, we believe that offering to the public a stronger foundation from which to understand and relate to Africa, as a place of inspiration, rather than desperation, will offer a proper and more productive perspective with which to find the greatest success in present and future relationships between America and Africa.
