Benin, thank’s a million for extending this invitation for attending the celebration for the Afrikan Tradidional tribute for Charles.
As you may, or may not had known how your father and I met, and how it transpired our continual relationship until his demise. We met in the early 90’s when Nana Nkyi, The Paramount Chief for the area of Assin Manso, came to the Hammond’s House in the West End. We, by chance met during the intermingling period and had a brief conversation. I’d ask him where was he from, and he said, Boston. He in turn asked where was I from. I hesitantly said, South Carolina; and to say what town, was certainly, I thought, no need to mention. He wanted to know anyway. I told him Allendale. There suddenly was a rekindling of emotions. He excitedly mentioned that his mother and father were from the area. As we continued our conversation, I did know his Aun’t and uncle from Philadelphia, who were peers and friendly with my mother adn aun’t from Allendale, in earlier times. But, what really capped it off, his father and my father are relatives. That makes us relatives.
We had visited the old “homesite” on a couple of occasions.
Also, we found out our mutual interest and deep concern about the continent of Afrika and did share our thoughts on this matter, deeply, as we both had visited on many occasions. Nana Amoa, was well aware and knowledgible of the order of the Traditonal Afrikan Culture, and adhered to this order, this most Honorable and most human Tradition to follow.
I will miss him, immensely! The Warrior. The concerned One. The Concerned one for the uplift of Afrikan Peoples.
