“…An instrument that measures the deep structure of culture or the asili, as articulated in the Africentric conception (e.g., Azibo, 1992a), was administered to an African and a European sample.

The Baldwin and Hopkins (1990) study renders as moot and baseless Curtis' observation that "the [Africentric conception] theories.., may require revision ....

I had not spoken with Curtis (he did not let me call him Dr. Banks) in over two years and had no idea that he was ill. Our last correspondence was in 1996 and that was through a student of his who was consulting some of my work. Hearing of his passing in January 1998 was particularly poignant for me since I had just been informed, completely after the fact, of my oldest living brother's successful surgery as he experienced a close encounter with mortality. How easy it would have been to have picked up the phone and called Curtis just to keep in touch, as my siblings and I have agreed to do from now on.I begin my reflections on this point of mortality because each of us has a finite amount of time on the surface of the planet and none of us knows when our time will be up. There-The life of psychologist Dr. W. Curtis Banks is remembered through a discussion of the author's personal observations. The issues focused on are Dr. Banks's intellectualism, his marriage outside of the Black race (which, in African-centered psychology, is construed as a mental health issue), some other noteworthy personal qualities, and hb propounding that the Africentric conception was befit with a DAUDI AJANI YA AZIBO, Ph.D is a full professor of psychology at Florida A&M University.
