Re: [External] Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Birthday: A. B. Assensoh

Many thanks for the birthday wishes, Brothers Akwasi and Okey! We were in the Fleet Street/London journalistic trenches with several other amazing Journalists, including Peter Pan (Peter 

Enahoro), who typed 120-130 words per minute with one finger; Jonathan Reffell, the Liberian news announcer with a velvet voice, who was "exiled" to the Liberian Embassy as the Press Officer

by the Tolbert regime, before its fall in the April 12,  1980 coup; Elizabeth Akua Ohene of Talking Drums' fame; and, of course, Fidel Odum, Editor of Concord (London).  

A.B. Assensoh.

Happy Birthday, Prof. Assensoh! I owe a lot of my awareness of political developments in Africa in the early 1980s to you and your colleagues, Ralph Uwechue, Nick Fadugba and Kaye Whiteman. You were the best. We celebrate you and wish you well.

Professor Assensoh is 74 today. He continues to live a great life. After his retirement from Indiana, he completed his law degree at the University of Oregon—he started it in the UK decades before but had to abandon it for circumstances beyond his control. And he continues to publish, working hard on his current project on Nkrumah, as if he is still preparing for his GCE A Level London.

 

With men and spirit like this, we can continue to say not just aluta continua but Forward Ever, Backward Never.

 

Onward, to 75, when all survivors of the raging Coronavirus will gather to honor both the dead and living. I am in charge of your 80^th birthday!!!
