Who was King John Aggery of the Gold Coast? He always caused good trouble, becoming the first traditional leader to fight against British authority. He set a precedent for sending petitioners to Britain as a form of protest. Aggery was deposed and exiled, but he established a critical foundation for bringing together different sections of society to work on common interests. Aggery believed in self-determination and lost his kingship and liberty in the pursuit of his ideals. Aggery's civil liberties activism serves as a reminder to all that no matter the challenging conditions, an individual's desire for change can make a difference across generations.
