Dear Sisters and Brothers,
Subject: Temple University racism. Dean Soufas racist actions and
words against Prof. Molefi Kete ASANTE. Call for your support
Brother Molefi Kete ASANTE, Professor in the Department of African
American Studies of Temple University, Philadelphia, USA has been
victim of racist verbal abuse and action from the newly appointed Dean
of the College of Liberal Arts, Ms Teresa Scott Soufas . The incident
occurred during a meeting with other professors on October 22, 2007.
She yelled at him, attempted to malign, demonize and terrorize him.
She made false and slanderous claims against him, pretending among
others lies that he was allegedly working against the African American
Studies Department. As the Brother boldly faced her, firmly told her
to stop pointing her finger at him and left the room, she became mean
spirited and went crazy.
This racist attack is all the more unfair and unacceptable since
Brother Asante's achievements, figure and name have made the
(excellent) national and international reputation and fame of Temple
University in general and the African American Studies Department of
Temple in particular in a unique way (see Asante's bio in:
www.asante.net). Now that this has happened, many Brothers and Sisters
from all over the world are writing complaints to Temple
administration. Our demand is simple: the white racist Dean must
officially apologize to our Brother and Comrade. Nothing less! Please,
join in this crusade as such a mean, sneaky and racist attack against
one of our most conscious, bold and uncompromising intellectuals,
role-models, leaders and s/heroes is an attack against us all.
Here is one such letter of protest. Use this or rephrase and amend or
change it at your convenience. Either way, please send no anonymous
post. Clearly mention your names, affiliation (academic, professional,
association or otherwise) and the place you are writing from,
especially if you are out of the USA. Keep it formal but straight,
bold and uncompromising. And, don't forget to demand an official
apology from the racist Dean Soufas. In the subject header of your
email, just write: "Dean Soufas racist actions and words against Prof.
Asante". Emails and faxes should be sent to Temple President Hart and
Temple Provost Staiano-Coico,

Don't you ever touch Brother Asante!
In Victory
