  WE must preserve the memory of those exservicemen who were martyred for our freedom.
  
  Let us not taint their memory with petty party politics.

  Perhaps one event in the history of Ghana that has attracted the most scholarly attention, but which paradoxically only punctuates the existing literature is the so-called 1948 “riots. Africans in the Gold Coast defined their local grievances as functions of colonial rule and saw political change as pre-condition for material improvement. Hence, the use of the term “riot,” a colonial construct, tends to obscure, rather than illuminate the context, goals, and motivations of the participants.
