American Black Attorney, Benjamin Crump and his legal firm in conjunction with the Diaspora African Forum have paid homage to five iconic black activists which includes “ Henrietta Lacks and Delia Taylor” on its Sankofa Wall Here in Accra.
This memorial wall has the names of renowned leaders, academicians,
activists and family members most of whom had the African Dream but never got to tour Ghana.
In an engagement with the Press, Her Excellency Dr. Erica Benette noted
that The African Union (AU), the Heads of States all 54, understand now; to
move Africa forward we got to include the Diaspora.
American Black Attorney, Benjamin Crump thanked founder of the Diaspora
African Forum, H.E. Dr. Erica Bennett and said the work of the diaspora is now
more important than ever.
“These individuals that we are going to acknowledge today are to be put
on the wall with other iconic I have been blessed to represent. And so today we
add to that list, the name Henrietta lacks Says Attorney Benjamin Crump.”
He also shared some insightful significance about Renty “Papa Renty
Taylor who was also added to the list of the black iconic activists on the
