Photos: Chicago Honors Paa Lante Photo 10
The Ghanaian Community in Chicago gathered at the 83rd and Ellis community
center and honored one of its heroes, Nii Lante Okunka Blebodjan, former Ga-Adangbe Community Organization Ceremonial Chief. Nii Lante Okunka Blebodzan I, aka Mr. Ebenezer Lamptey, and affectionately known as: Paa Lante, was the first Chief (Mantse) of the GaDangme community in Chicago. He was installed in 1987 and inaugurated on June 8 2002. Nii Lante served with distinction until 2006. His pioneering activities with others resulted in the present day Ghanafest celebrations.
The Ga-Adangbe Community Organization presented a plaque and an
undisclosed amount to Nii whilst the Council of chiefs gave Nii a thousand dollars.
