Dzagbele Matilda Asante who came from the Gold Coast (now 🇬🇭) in 1947 to train as a nurse in Hospitals such as Central Middlesex in London sadly passed away peacefully in Accra, Ghana a week ago.
She's featured in @yhp_uk work on continental Africans.

But what about @memorial2007 near-25 year campaign for a statue speaking to the pre- and post-Trans-Atlantic Trafficking of Africans and garden in Hyde Park?
Who's stepping up to fund it?
