A Brief interview with Dr. Asa Hilliard by Dr. Kwaku Person-Lynn. Dr. Hilliard has been to Africa many times, but passed away in Egypt on his last tour (August 12). Dr. Kwaku has included a chapter on Asa Hilliard in his book “First Word.” For more visit www.DrKwaku.blogspot.com. This is an audio interview with a photo slide show of Dr. Hilliard.
He practically took me out of ignorance and took me into enlightenment.
RIP man of truth!!
Your words will forever shape and direct us!!
RIP Dr. Hilliard. We learned a lot from you sir.
R.I.P. brother, your work will continue on through us.
Much love and Respect Dr Hilliard
Saw this brother on Howard University TV many times in Washington DC…..great mind.
R.I.P Baba Asa G. Hilliard…May he rest in peace!
R.I.P Dr. Hilliard
This is very remarkable.
So many people act like urban kids are simply deficient. This is not so. You have to teach each student with a respect for who he or she is, with a belief that there is a special and unique talent and potential there. And you have to know that you'll never truly know what their lives are really like. The sooner you can be honest about that the better. But just because you don't know doesn't mean that you can't have empathy and let it show.
Beautiful. May his spirit live on in us.
A giant among men…; a giant among the ancestors…; a powerful and compelling force for the catalytic development/betterment of African people throughout the Diaspora…, and consequently the world at large.
~~Much respect, admiration, appreciation, and gratitude!, for such an outstanding man. : }
i love asa hilliard he is my grandfother i will never forget him
Just a few days ago our five year old found a photo and in it was she and Dr. Asa Hilliard.
Our daughter, asked when are we going to see him again. We said as soon as we make connection, not knowing that he had recently passed away. Za, our daughter was filled with joy just seeing herself as a baby in this great man arms.
A great friend…he will truly be missed.
The Arri Family
I miss him terribly. He was such a wonderful person and was one of the few people who believed in me.
I love you Uncle Asa you made me even more proud to be a Hilliard.You will allways live through our stories about our time s together.
…(con't)Despite his intelligence and stature, he was down-to-earth. He made sure that everyone he taught, befriended, or loved felt special. He shared his genius openly. It was a blessing to have known such a wonderful person and an honor to have been able to call him my Baba. In loving memory…T.Wilson
Dr. Asa G. Hilliard, who I endearingly called Baba, was truly an extraordinary human being. Never before have I encountered an individual with his wealth of knowledge and insight on topics that affected people across the Diaspora…
