Dr. James Emman Kwegyir Aggrey

1875–1927 Born in the Gold Coast, now Ghana, Aggrey excelled as a student and in 1898 entered university in the US where he graduated 4 years later with 3 degrees, following which he became minister of African Methodists Zion Church in Salisbury, NC. He earned doctorates in theology and osteopathy in 1912 and 1914. In 1920 he joined a research expedition to Africa to study educational needs, and over two years he gathered and analysed data to that end in what are now 10 African countries. In 1924 he was appointed first Vice-Principal of Achimota College in Accra. In 2004, the City of Salisbury and the State of North Carolina erected a historical marker to honour the contributions to the city and the state of Dr. Aggrey and his wife, Mrs. Rose Aggrey.

    If you read about kwegyir aggey and when this comment was made it was relevant then because in most cultures around the world and particularly where he hails from which is Ghana west Africa Most families only sent their male sons to school and females were not and also what he realized in his time was that when the men in his time got education they did not spread their knowledge but when women were given education they in return shared what they learn with their friends and families there by spreading knowledge in their communities or societies
