African Ancestral Knowledge is all around us; this is a picture I took while driving by an Obelisk, built outside the police headquarters, in downtown Toronto. It shows you a little boy pulling the Obelisk in a cart (this could mean the "new age" or the "new man" represented here as the child whose history isn't as old as the object he's pulling in the cart. The Obelisk is taken from Ancient Egypt; it was designed during the enlightenment-era association of Egypt with mortuary arts, (and generally with great antiquity), obelisks became associated with timelessness and memorialization.
I thought it was cool!
