From Founding document entitled:
THE INTERNATIONAL BOARD OF AFRICAN
HISTORICAL ( TRADITIONAL) THINKERS - Page 13:
Africentric individuals or groups are
those who, for all practical purposes,
primarily practice, perceive, think, and
interpret reality or phenomenon from an
African cultural background, regardless of
ethnic heritage, or nationality. They totally
use African names (first and last), practice
an African religion (PtahRa), wear African
style clothes and hairstyles, and are
cooperative:
economically,
socially,
religiously, politically, and militarily. They
are centered in African culture, even within
an Eurocentric (white western) environment.
All mentally and spiritually healthy Africans,
throughout the yepete (Diaspora), are
Africentric.
