BLACK POWER
In 1957, Ghana led the way for other African countries to reclaim their independence from the colonial powers. This lorry, delivering a load of passengers to the market at Half Assini sometime between 1971 – 73, may be making a reference to that or it may be simply stating something that all Africans have always known – there is a power in Africa that comes from its people and that now can be found around the world.

Nana,
I adore the old lorries. It was so sad when I returned in 2008 to find those Mammy wagons built on Bedford truck beds had faded away. So many memories inside those small worlds!
Thanks for reminding us what at the heart of Africa. Long live Ghana!
