Today the 14th of April it’s exactly a year since we lost our Professor Kenneth Harrow

Professor Kenneth Harrow

 

How we miss him ! Today is the 2nd day of Pesach. How’s his family coping ? 


We can only imagine what he would have been saying about latest developments in world affairs, starting with Trump’s  election victory in the United States, the War on US Students and US Universities, the deportations from the US,  the Middle East, Trump's Riviera plans for Gaza, the conditions for peace in Ukraine, Trump’s tariffs , China,  France,  Ibrahim Traoré,  Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Senegal , Rwanda on the rampage in DRC,  Adichie’s “Dream Count”,  maybe a poem or two by a local san-san boy in Cameroonian patois, about Paul Biya

Indeed, Professor Kenneth Harrow was a great Africanist, and contributor to our discourses in this forum. May his soul rest in perfect peace!!!

Thanks for reminding us.

Ike Udogu.

Oh my.......

I miss him so much and I am certain we all miss him in the USA Africa Dialogues series here. Professor Harrow's peculiar angle to issues based on his Global and especially African experience and his exchanges with Prof Cornelius and other brilliant Professors and commentators on this platform are outstanding. His choice of all small letters or how do I correctly refer to that and evident scholarship is unforgettable. 

I hope he's doing well in the hereafter and pray for his inner and extended family and friends. I pray his memory lives on in the mind of those he truly touched.

Adieu again Professor Kenneth Harrow!!!
