<Title>Sad News for the UMBC Community</Title>
<Tagline>The passing of Kwame Ansah-Brew</Tagline>

    <div>Dear Members of the UMBC Community,</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>It is with the deepest sadness that I share with you the passing of Kwame Ansah-Brew, master percussionist and adjunct professor of Africana studies, on June 7, 2019. Kwame’s untimely passing is a painful loss for the Africana studies department and the University community. He will be missed dearly.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Ansah-Brew was a scholar, a creative performer, and an experienced musician adept in Akan and other African traditions. As a highly respected and talented performer, Kwame was invited by the Ghanaian Ambassador to the United States to present a eulogy at the United Nations in honor of Secretary-General Kofi Annan last November. He was also the founder of Performing Arts Center For African Cultures, FRITETE Afrobeat, and Fritete African Drum and Dance Ensemble. He performed in over 350 public schools and many community events, promoting a better understanding of African cultures through the performing arts. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Professor Ansah-Brew taught popular courses in African dance, Black music, and comparative African religions since 2005. His warm-heartedness, infectious smile, love, and kindness were felt by many in the Africana studies department and the UMBC community who came to know his work. These courses attracted students from diverse nationalities, ethnicities, religions, and disciplinary backgrounds. His students spoke glowingly about Ansah-Brew’s dedication to his work, compassion, and mentorship. He was often featured in major Africana studies events, including the W. E. B Du Bois Annual Lectures and the 2018 Taste of Africa.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Kwame’s family has asked that we share this painful news and information regarding his funeral rites with the UMBC community.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Sincerely,</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Gloria Chuku, Chair, Africana Studies</div>
