Ambassador Erieka Bennett, a die-hard bridge-builder
BY USMAN MAMA
At The African Magazine, we celebrate Black History Month with one foot in the past to honor giant Blacks of the past, and the other foot in the present in recognition of the achievements of contemporary, living black men and women. An example of such contemporary black achievers is Ambassador Erieka Bennett, an African American born in the USA who has been involved in Africa for decades, a die-hard bridge-builder who amazed us in an exclusive interview with the beautiful statement: “You are not an African because you are born in Africa; you are an African when Africa is born in you.”
