"Black Origin" of the most celebrated and well-known teenager of the ancient civilized world. Historian and Attorney, Legrand H. Clegg II, demonstrates through his lectures, writings and teachings that the young "Boy King" was undeniably a Black, African child.

The greatly anticipated return of the "King Tut Exhibit" to the US back in June of 2005, kicked off a 2-year intellectual battle for rights as to which race can actually take credit for giving birth to King Tut and arguably the greatest royal dynasty in the history of man. The issue of King Tut's hotly disputed "African" bloodline ignited a firestorm of controversy. There has always been great debate among scholars, scientist, anthropologists and historians of all races as to King Tut's true lineage. Till this day, this same crowd continues to hotly debate the indigenous African-Nubian roots of the entire Egyptian race.

Former Compton, California City Attorney Legrand H. Clegg II, hopes to dispel the myths and disseminate the facts with his planned 2009 -2010 lecture series and conference tour. "The Black Roots of King Tut" lecture series is the official name Legrand has chosen to call his "King Tut" talk circuit appearances. Attorney Clegg explores the 18th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt with a focus on why anthropologists, museum curators and others had attempted to whiten King Tut in the exhibit that was on display in the US until September of 2007.

The "King Tut Black Roots Tour" is an adaptation of a similar lecture theme produced by Legrand at the Esowan Bookstore in Los Angeles back in 2005 when the King Tut Exhibit had first arrived in the US. Attorney Clegg plans to lecture in California in several cities before going on to lecture in various cities throughout the nation. Special guest historians and known Afrocentric and Egyptian scholars will lecture on the "Black Roots Educational Tour." Official dates, guest speakers and venues "To Be Announced".
