  3. Beyond the black and white keys (implications for EENI Global Business School)

One of the most famous African intellectuals, James Emman Kwegyir Aggrey, was born on October 18, 1875, in Gold Coast (now Ghana). He was a missionary and teacher. He belongs to the Fanti ethnic group. After a few years in the United States, he returned to Africa.

James Emman Kwegyir Aggrey (Racial Harmony)

“If you educate a woman, you educate a whole nation... Africa should be civilised not westernised” James Emman Kwegyir Aggrey

In South Africa, he gave a lecture in which he used the piano keys as an image of the racial harmony:

“I do not care what you know; show me what you can do. Many of my people who get educated don't work, but take to drink. They see white people drink, so they think they must drink too. They imitate the weakness of the white people, but not their greatness. They will not imitate a white man working hard...

If you play only the white notes on a piano you get only the sharps; if only the black keys you get the flats; but if you play the two together you get the harmony and a beautiful music”. James Emman Kwegyir Aggrey

This Principle of Racial Harmony enunciated by James Emman Kwegyir Aggrey coincides with the Vision of EENI Global Business School. The real challenge of EENI is to achieve the harmony among all the peoplewho interact (teachers, students, managers, workers, officials), regardless of whether they are black or white, whether they are Fang, Berber, Bambara, Hausa or Mossi.

Each person, regardless of race, is an essential part of EENI, and together we make it possible for us to fulfil the EENI's Mission of facilitating access to higher education in Africa at affordable prices.
