I knew that I came from a great past thanks to what my father taught me, but I wanted to know more.... I wanted to know what we contributed to the world. Why? I didn't want anybody to tell me we were great. I wanted to know in fact we were great and why we were great...and what we did."

Ekom do, Etubom Eric Edwards! "Ekom do" means greetings, "Ette" means father and "Etubom or Ette Ubom" means man of honor in the Ibibio language. Yes, perhaps over a million Ibibios were snatched and shipped out to be enslaved in Europe, the Americas and the West Indies, including Barbados. The Ibibio presence in the West Indies was obviously strong enough to influence arts and culture throughout the region. For instance, the Ibibio word, KAISO (Go forward), became the foundation for the musical genre popularly known as CALYPSO. The spirits of our ancestors, it seems, are united in their choice of Etubom Eric Edwards as their chief spokesperson at this time. Etubom Eric Edwards, in my opinion, is a reincarnated African soul, possibly of Ibibio extraction. His breathtaking collection of African arts, artefacts, record albums, etc. must NEVER be allowed to pass into the hands of those whose forebears did so much to damage our beloved Motherland. I'm sure there are profiteers already lined up to cash in, but that must be resisted at all costs, for there shall be grave spiritual consequences if that happens. Black is the highest culture, don't you know?

Fabulous collection, outstanding knowledge of African Art. We share two common denominators, the love of African Art and I too grew in up in Brooklyn, Brownsville. As a Latino I have shared my learnings with a variety of people, became initiated in the Yoruba faith back in 1993. My collection is primarily Yoruba...Ere Ibeji twins, Opon Ifa divination boards, Oshe Shango dance wands, Eshu, Gelede, EPA. Would love to meet up some time. James

Sotheby's sold a Benin bronze figure for over $2 million. Every single piece is so exquisitely chosen, it rivals the Arfican art collections of any major museum of the world.
