In his lecture, titled "From Othello to Obama: Is this the Dawn of a Post-Racial Age?," Mazrui hypothesized that the post-racial age may be upon us but that racial prejudice may be superseded by an age of cultural prejudice, similar to the time of Shakespeare. Mazrui is the creator of the acclaimed BBC and PBS series "The Africans: A Triple Heritage." The story also quoted Ali Ahmida, 51品茶professor and chair of the Political Science Department, who introduced Mazrui.
