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

 May I join all men and women of good will in wishing Professor AB  Assensoh a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

I have known him for decades, and I can proudly say he is one of the best species of human beings the

world will ever know. On behalf of my family, I wish him more productive post- coronavirus years to come.

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!!!
