Rest in peace Runoko
Dr. Rashidi – The world was your canvas and you made your indelible mark. You once told me while we were in Kemet (Egypt) during the DZert Club program (now African Genesis Inst) that you were Hon. Marcus Garvey reincarnated ✊🏾. Your physical presence will be missed – you have left a legacy that will continue the elevation of our people. ‘A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without its roots’ Hon. Marcus Garvey.
Thank you Dr Rashidi
Rise with out great Ancestors. Ase’
Dr. Rashidi RISE WITH OUR GREAT ANCESTORS- ASE’

Thank you for the invite and I will post it on my Facebook page to help get the word out. I believe Rashidi was an inspiration and a gift as well as a father to the world because through his eyes we all witnessed and learned a crucial part of history that truly belonged to us, the indigenous original people of the earth. Father Runoko Rashidi who now is seated in the “Ancestorial plane”… thank you for your knowledge and services that you’ve provided for many years. You will be sorely missed.
Ase, Ase, Ase! So it is…
I would like to wish my friend, scholar and elder Dr. Runoku Rashidi a farewell on his journey to the ancestor realm. I learned so much from him and thank him for all his research, knowledge and wisdom. Those of us that learned from you will continue to carry on the torch. Rise in Power! 😥😔
❤️🖤💚✊🏾

Great job.
Regards.
Greetings W. Johnson, and thank you for your kind words. The helpful information in this post has links to the mortuary website, where an obituary is posted, among other things. Thank you so much.
Rest in peace Son of the Soil. Runoko (Handsome) I am one of your sisters who loved your works from Zimbabwe, am filled with joy that you chose a Zimbabwean name❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It is my confirmed ‘knowing’ a transition from one stage of life to the next is a sacred passage, not to sadden and depress us but that we recognize a Higher Source to our Being. A work now done expresses joy as a soul moves to the next assignment. Love to Rashidi and gratitude for his sharing.
I am honored to have followed your teaching and travels. As a seeker of the African presence upon the earth you have shared with some many the valuable lessons of leadership, instruction, and the greatness of our Melinated peoples history. It was a pleasure to learn and follow all of your hard work and dedication to Our African Ancestry as well as the plethora of Monuments, Statues, and exsistance on each continent. You are a Legacy in your own rights. Rest Well Doctor Runoko Rashidi🖤
