JOHN MARRETT
I thought yesterday that the sculpture of the fist with extended right finger was a political statement connected with Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, one of the leaders of independence for the Gold Coast (Ghana), but I didn't say so. Then I wondered if it had anything to do with Jomo Kenyatta of the Kenya independence movement, through the Mau Mau movement, but I doubt it.
Since his young children may not have discussed politics with him, I don't know if I will ever find out for sure.
