#ghana #blackhistory #worldwarheroes #colonialism #untoldstory #racism
One victim of this casual brutality, which characterized the colonial rule in many other places was James Ewusie-Mensah, a 28-year-old Ghanaian man who was married with five children. Ewusie-Mensah worked as a clerk in the Transportation Office at the American base in Accra to support his family. On the night of 4 June 1943, he was busy working a late shift. Little did he know that as he toiled away at his desk, dispatching vehicles to and fro, that an American Air Force major by the name of Russell McCormick would bring his life to a violent, untimely end.
