Brother Abdu,

Lamin Jangha is a very good friend and brother of mine but i lost touch with him, having last seen him back in the mid to late 70's. He was indeed one of the students who were sent to study in Ghana and has told me about it many times. I do not remember details but i remember that much. He was married ot an African American sister named Njerry and they lived in Silver Spring Maryland. I ma not sure if he is related to Sarra Janha or not.
We have mutual friends and I will ask them of his whereabouts.
A great brother and the nicest guy you ever want to meet and a Pan Africanist to the bone.
