“Now I have seen that some of you fear to go forward to fight for our king. If it were in the brave days of, the days of Osei Tutu, Okomfo Anokye, and Opoku Ware, leaders would not sit down to see their king taken away without firing a shot.
No whyte man could have dared to speak to chief of the Ashanti in the way the Governor spoke to you leaders this morning. Is it true that the bravery of the Ashanti is no more? I cannot believe it. It cannot be! I must say this: if you the men of Ashanti will not go forward, then we will. We the women will. I shall call upon my fellow women.
We will fight the whyte men. We will fight till the last of us falls in the battlefields.” - Queen Mother Yaa Asantewaa 🖤 we celebrate and honor you Queen's for laying the foundation and for being the inspiration you are to us daughters of the soil🖤 we shall continue to tell her story. #QueenMotherYaaAsantewaa
