Born in 1953,[1] Aboubacry Moussa Lam, also known as Boubacar Lam, is a Peul[2] Senegalese historian and disciple of Cheikh Anta Diop.[3] Lam is credited with being the most important Diop scholar[4] and being "most helpful and inspiring in defining the nature of the Afrocentric school of thought."[5] Boubacar has been an activist in the movement to recenter Africans back in their own historical and social context.[6] In continuing with the African intellectual heritage of Africana Studies, Lam has used his much needed linguistic abilities to translate and recover African memory.[7] The primary focus of his work has been on Cheikh Anta Diop’s migrations theory.[2] His linguistic work has helped establish connections between the ancient Egyptian language and black African languages, primarily Kongo-Saharan languages.[8] In particular, much of his work has focused on the in-depth cultural and linguistic similarities between West Africans (e.g., Peul, Serer, Wolof) and ancient Egypt.[2][9] He has made the case for kmt deriving from the skin color of Nile Valley Africans, who are viewed as black.[10]
