Whenever I come across AMISTAD, I think of Sengbe Pieh and the Steven Spielberg film AMISTAD and of an eminent Sierra Leonean historian, Professor Arthur Abraham who acted as a consultant for that film and for "Blood Diamonds".
Once upon a time - as a young student Professor Abraham was an ardent Pan- Africanist - I mean one who was in correspondence with Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah, then in exile in Guinea - and the Osagyefo used to send his group some cases Chinese beer, from Conakry. I knew Arthur and the group....
If Professor Abraham is not already a member of our august forum then it's time that I extended an invitation to him to join us now.
