A long time ago, Bekenstein argued, on heuristic grounds, that a quantized black hole should have a discrete and uniformly spaced area spectrum. Notably, there has since been many rigorous calculations in support of these arguments. Nonetheless, there has been very little progress in generalizing this notion to a Kerr (rotating) black hole. In this talk, I will review a paper in which we did, after all, derive the Kerr area spectrum and, moreover, cast it in a form that complies perfectly with Bekenstein's mandate.
