This forum was about Merz e Tate. The forum began with a very powerful introduction about preserving our history. If landmarks are demolished then we will not know who we are and we will have to turn to other people for our history. This welcome was brought to us by Spirit Central. Spirit Central is a group/ organization that believes in remembering who we are, using spiritual methods to cleanse ourselves from colonial and white supremacy, and these principals are used to heal the damage that was inflicted. Next certificates were handed out to Ghana and China.
China played a large role in helping W. E. B. DuBois and helped to build a memorial in Africa. They had never been formally thanked until that night.
Ghana received a certificate for keeping the remains and properties of DuBois in their country. The lecture on Marie Tate followed the certificates being given out. Her contributions to the history department here at Howard University, the endowment she left, and the fact that she is recognized annually was all mentioned. She received degrees from Columbia, Oxford and Harvard. She began working for HU in 1972 and retired in 1977.
She was the recipient of the Pioneer award in 1978, Recognition Award in 1979, and recognized by the American Association in 1974. Tate wrote a book about diplomacy in the Pacific and the relationship between America and Hawaii. NrKumah, the son of the first President of Ghana, was the next speaker. He had the vision for the Center of Pan African Culture and History. The main project in this center was the preservation of books.

Established in 1985 by Ghana as a symbol to Dubois and everyone interested in the rights of blacks. DuBois was called the father of Pan African ism. The main concept was that Africans everywhere share the same goals.
