The Asante King gives speech on education, history
of the Asante Empire at the U of M
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene, the Asante King, opened his speech Thursday afternoon to a crowd at the University of Memphis by talking about the importance of education.
"It has been a policy, wherever our leaders have taken us, to seek to engage the youth in the educational system," the king said. "Not only as a reflection of the priority we have put in education, but also because of our recognition that creating understanding in the youth is the surest way to ensure the future of the world."
The speech, titled “Contemporary Challenges in United States and Africa Relations," was a part of the Memphis in May International Festival, a week-long series of programs to learn about the festival's "honored country," which is Ghana this year. Memphis in May first picked Ghana as the honored country in 2020, but the pandemic upended the city's signature festival and events. Organizers decided to honor Ghana this year with national and local COVID-19 restrictions largely gone.
Citizens of Memphis, you can be proud of this city for its foresight in establishing the Memphis in May International Festival," the king said. "...we have traveled several hundred miles from across the oceans, in the very heart of Africa, to celebrate with the city this year and it is only right that we make the most of the opportunity to foster greater understanding as a contribution to the continental relations of the people of our two countries."
Much of the 15-minute speech focused on educating the attendees on the history and culture of the Asante Empire and Ghana.
BLACK CULTURE: The ASHANTI KING Historic Visit To Memphis Festival, Beautiful Rich AFRICAN Culture.
We in Trinidad & Tobago 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 are proud to host the Asantehene for our Emancipation celebration 2023 on August 1st. We in this tiny Caribbean twin island Republic are happy to have the King and his retinue. We have retained many of our African cultures in the food, worship and first names of our children. Our respect for the African continent is growing as Afro Caribbeans recall our past in the face of the terrible treatment of African peoples all over the world.
I am not from Ghana, but the ASHANTI KING made all African people proud, all Black people.
Thank you Chioma, we have a beautiful culture

Every dance movement is a sign of communication so the dancers were sending some message

What does piaaaaw mean?
@teddyoparanya6482 it has no real meaning, it's more like a cheer for traditional rulers or personalities.
Thanks for showing our beautiful culture at your end 🙏🏼
I may not understand the African culture, but this is so beautiful. I am glad they didn't wear suits.
The beauty of it is that the Ashanti culture of Ghana is just one of many African cultures.
We're soo proud of you " Asante Kotoko Hene..nya nkwa daadaa
That’s My PaPa
I beg all black Americans to come back home.Ur home is Ghana
why? lol we aint african.
Black Americans have majoroty Nigerian blood. Their home is Nigeria. Ghanaians are too desperate
Some are moving or visiting Africa so I'm very happy about that. Last year, around December time you had a *lot* of Americans and blk folks that live in Europe visiting and partying in Ghana for Christmas and New Years Eve and this year (in Ghana) is gonna be *lit* again. I can't wait for December to get here. 😊 🔥🔥🔥
Their home is Africa not Ghana.
@@DaughterofSarahisreal The enlightened ones who can afford a ticket will visit and learn about their roots. The broke ones like you will run your mouth about how you aren’t African. When the slave master who purchased you wants to get under your skin, they say go back to Africa. You should be proud that at least you know where you are from. I know some of you are still salty with the narrative that Africans sold you into slavery. How about the freed black slaves who enslaved other blacks in the slavery era. Your own people enslaved some of you. You need to read and enlighten yourself.
Beautiful culture
Thank you my sister, yes we do have beautiful culture
@@jeffafriyie883 exactly my dear, anyway, my mum is called Akua Afriyie 😊
@@nanaowusuwaa9466 oh wow please say hello to mum for me 🥰
@@jeffafriyie883 she will hear when I call home😄😄 also I forgot to tell you my ex bf is called Jeffrey Owusu Sekyere.
I see Love is in the air 🥰
Eiiiii,
Piaww
That’s My Father
The Jamaican nation flag is literally the same colours shades as the Asante flag... it's intriguing... Blood like we say in Africa, is thicker than water. DNA power!
Jamaicans are Akans which means they have Asantes among them cos the maroons still have the Ghanaian language twi
U see the GOLD?
This is what’s coming to America is like
Ashanti is not a tribe but a Kingdom or Empire.
It stretches from Seychelles to Liberia all the way to Benin, Togo, Ghana and Ivory Coast.
Now, everything is just for ceremonial purposes yet Ashantis don't joke with their Ashantiness and their King.
They still till date called the King "Otumfuor the Big God, " (Otumfuor Nyame Kese). Nyame - God and Kese - Big.
Ashantis regard women alot in their culture cos the King are always chosen by the Queens.
They use dance to communicate so all those dances are form of communication to the King or the elders around him.
The only Kingdom in Africa that was able to raise about 50000 soldiers in 18 century to face the British army. They defeated the British twice and lost on the third war. Even in those days their Army formation was so advanced.
They had front wing command,
Left wing command,
Right wing command,
Back up command,
Behind enemy command,
Detective command, and do on. They were the best fighters in jungle wars.
Their soldiers could fight for straight one week without food.
no black culture ; africain king and akan is ghana half part and cote d'ivoire half part
It’s also been said that they are part of the reason that Black people are in America. Because they also participated in the slave trade by capturing blanks in Africa.
Not true cos they wouldn't have fought the British over 10 times, it was done by other chiefs at the coastal areas
@@stephenboateng9360 Actually it is true, you need to read history
@@DaughterofSarahisreal the era of which Ashanti king
That's every people in Africa and all of the western Europeans who have been involved in the slave trade either directly or indirectly.
All the west Africa kings were involved of slavery ,not just Ashantis tell the truth
Where he get all that money from? slave trade? lol
They are state treasures. Learn some history and don't be ignorant
@@tacrossover well educate me, where they get this money from?
@@DaughterofSarahisreal Asante and other Akan peoples have been mining gold from the 1500s before trading with the Europeans. All the gold that you see here has been passed down for generations. They are State ornaments for the office. That includes the gold staffs of the Okyeame, the king's speaker, and the sword bearers. The other important thing to note is that in Ghana it is the King and other chiefs that are custodians of the land. So all minerals resources found in their territory is under their trust. So in Asante, all the gold mining companies and small scale miners pay royalties to the Asante king. But they don't pay in dollars, they pay in gold.
His Royal Majesty, King Osei Tutu , gets his money from where other kings and queens get their money from.
He sits and presided over GOLD!/ Diamonds!
Love the umbrellas
