Issue - meetings

Bishop Frimpong–Manson provided the meeting with the background to the Ghanaian Community’s representation and involvement in the Tottenham area.  He was pleased to also advise that the refreshments and food provided for the meeting had been provided by the community.  Ghana, which today has a population of 27million, had achieved independence in 1957 under the leadership of Kwame Nkrumah.  Nkrumah aspired to the working together of the countries of post colonial Africa and was a founding father of the Organisation of African Unity.  The Bishop was pleased that the community had made a positive contribution to Haringey’s Black History month in October.
