- Description
- “The possibility of reconnecting with allies from her New York community clearly fueled Garvin’s attraction to Ghana, and she soon decided to stay on in Accra. Garvin settled into sharing a house with two other single African American women, Alice Windom and Maya (Angelou) Make. All three women could be counted among the group of African American expatriates with a history of association with the U.S. black left. These activists, generally in their thirties and forties, became known in Ghana as the “politicals” of the Afro-American set.”
