He came to the United States in 1970, where he completed his post graduate studies at Rutgers University in New Jersey. During the decade of the 1960s, he broadcasted weekly from Britain to both Africa and the Caribbean. From 1957 to 1959, he served as a Press and Broadcasting Officer in the Guyana Information Services. He was educated at the School of Oriental and African Studies at London University where he graduated with honors. Ivan Van Sertima was born in Kitty Village, Guyana, South America on January 26, 1935. This is no romantic exploration of antiquities. Simply put, Van Sertima's clarion call has been: "We shall follow the trail of the African in Europe, in Asia, and in every corner of the New World, seeking to set the record straight. Indeed, during this turbulent and exciting period, he has been in the vanguard of those scholars fighting to place African history in a new light. With absolute certainty it can stated that, due to his consistent and unrelenting scholarship over the past twenty-five years in the rewriting of African history and the reconstruction of the African's place in world history, particularly in the field of the African presence in ancient America, Ivan Van Sertima has cemented his position as one of our greatest living scholars.
