Do you think Black Americans have EVER been exposed to maps of the world? If you are smart enough to realize that, then it follows that Blacks from wherever can find Africa. If we choose to be in Africa we have the means and money to do so. Your begging, houding and pounding for Blacks to just oh please, please please come to the way of life we find loaded with deprivation and hardship is NOT ATTRACTIVE.YOUR THINKING IS SADLY INFANTILE FOR THINKING BLACKS BELONG IN AFRICA. WILL YOU SOLELY FIND ONLY A CERTAIN TYPE OF PERSON IN A GIVEN LOCATION IN THE WORLD? YOUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IS NOT ATTENTIVE TO NEEDY PATIENTS AND YOU BEHAVIOR TO THE SICK IS CRUEL.YOUR REPUTATION PRECEDES YOU. TO HELL WITH ALL OF YOUR BACKWARDS GARBAGE.

The African Americans who recently came there may be ok. They may have nothing to do with that tower. But investigate and keep an eye. But for the foremost they may be ok. Hopefully they stay safe. The tower people are causing to many problems.

“MY SANKOFA”  (A born again experience.)

FLASHBACKS of an EARLY African-American PIONEER who relocated to Ghana, (to join the ranks of Freedom-Fighters) after participating in a vicious war to liberate the South Korean, from the communist north; during the cold-war.

On my seventeenth birthday I asked for and received my (single mother’s of 7) consent, to drop out of Buchanan Michigan High School, to join the U.S. Army after promising her I'd take advantage of their education programs and complete my education. I would also be able to help out financially by remitting a portion of my military salary to her, she being a single mother of six.

One week after my 17th birthday I was assigned to Fort Riley Kansas for 16 weeks of basic infantry training. On completion I was sent to Fort Belvoir Virginia, for a course in combat engineering. It was there I learned of the escalating conflict in Korea and along with the entire class, volunteered for combat service there. At the time it was said to be a “Police-Action.” Our main concern was it would be over before we got there.

December 4, 1950, I arrived in Inchon, South Korea and assigned to the U.S. Army’s last all-Black unit, the 24th Infantry Regiment Combat Team, aka Deuce4, the last unit of the original Buffalo Soldiers. During the 9 months I served as a Rifleman I was wounded twice, received the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star, the Combat Infantry Badge and four Battle Stars. After Korea, I served two years as a paratrooper in Japan, before being honorably discharged in 1954.

I later attended the American Academy of Art, in Chicago from 1957 to 1959, where I met and was mentored by Mr. Gus Nalls, (veteran of WW-2) in the art of oil painting. After four years I relocated to New York City in the early 1960s, where I joined a group of Black Artists, The 20th Century Art Creators. It was during that time (the civil-rights struggle) I became disillusioned with the social and political situation in America and decided to relocate to Africa, and in 1965 I left for Ghana with less than $300 in my pocket.

On arrival in Ghana I was welcomed by a fellow artist Tom Feelings, one of President Kwame Nkrumah's advisors, and introduced to other expatriates living in Ghana at the time. During the 1960s and 1970s, the African American expatriates living there included artists, Tom Feelings, Ted Pontifeif, Julian Mayfield, Herman Bailey, Alton Carlo, Earl Smith, Frank Robinson, Judson Hudson, Max Bond, Jim Lacy, John W. Ray, Charles Danial, Jerry Harper, Lesley Lacy, Leroy Mitchell, Edith Major & Charles Simpson, Maya Angelou, Nell I. Painter, Alice Windom, Dr. Shirley Graham DuBois, Maya Angelous and a few others. Our selected spokesman was Dr. Robert Lee, a medical dentist & wife, Shirley Lee; also a Dentist. (with the excepting of 4) MAY THEY RIP.

Most African-American male there, like myself were “Disillusioned-Veterans; who had fought for the RIGHT’S of other’s, that were denied us in our own country. So rather than suffer such dehumanizing on return to America, we to a man, had decide to return our ancestral land and take part in its liberation… Each in our own way.

After being adopted by an Ashanti-Paramount Chief, Nana kwaku Duah (1966) and given the name “Kojo Acheampong.” I spent the next eleven (11) years living in Ghana, often traveling to Togo and the Ivory Coast to market my jewelry. I earned a living by learning and making jewelry of traditional designs which I carved from cow-horns and ivory after fully immersing myself in the culture. On my return to the United States in 1976, I was able to contribute to the growing interest in African art and culture.

IT WAS A BORNAGAIN EXPERIENCE.

In addition to my art and jewelry, I've published “The Return of the African-American,” detailing my journey of self-discovery in Africa which I later revised as “MY SANKOFA.” My second book is, “What’s a Commie Ever Done to Black People?” details my experiences in the Korean War WHICH exposed what it is like to fight as a United States-African American Soldier for the human-rights and freedom for other people’s, while being denied such RIGHT’S, in our own country…

MY SANKOFA aka; “Return to the PAST, for knowledge that’ll help understand PRESENT; and prepare for the FUTURE.” 

should be A MUST READ for all African-American, and well meaning people worldwide.

*****************

 In 2015  I had my DNA done and discover 87% of my-family’s ancestors are from the Ashanti-Akim area.

The same area of Ghana I had lived for 11 years… 1965 to 1976.
