The Jerry John (JJ) Rawlings Foundation says all is set for the exhibition and theatre performance which forms part of the activities marking the 43rd anniversary of the June 4, 1979, Uprising.
The activities, according to the Foundation, will take place at the Ghana Academy of Arts and Science on Saturday, June 4, 2022, at 5 pm.
This was contained in a press statement issued by the Office of the late former president, signed by Mr. Kobina Andoh Amoakwa on Thursday 2, 2024,
“The Foundation is hosting the exhibition and theatre performance in order to contribute to the historical chronicle of the uprising and historical moments in Ghana’s history that led us to the Uprising”.
“This offers an opportunity for interaction and discourse, and also serves as an academic exercise, particularly in the fields of research, history, politics, and African studies”, it stated.
The foundation explained that “The trying political and economic circumstances of the time led to social unrest which culminated in what has come to be known as the Uprising of June 4, 1979”.
