"Using forensics to make King Tutankhamun appear to be white is a move to remake him, like all things Egyptian, to fit a non-African image, according to Maulana Karenga, a popular Afrocentric scholar . . . . Karenga, the creator of Kwanzaa, is coming to Fort Lauderdale on Saturday to deliver a lecture on King Tut and the character of ancient Egypt . . . . Karenga's visit is an attempt to give people another view of the Tut exhibit.Local activists, piggybacking on protests of the exhibit in Los Angeles, wanted to counter some of its images. It opens Dec. 15 and runs through April 23 at Fort Lauderdale's Museum of Art."
