Her effigy decorated the currency of independent Ghana,and a girls’ high school in Kumasi was named after her. Towards the celebration of the centenary of the war of 1900, major conferences were held in Ghana, Europe, and the United States and, especially, through the African Studies Associations. A major television documentary on her is now used in universities in the United States. Titled “YAA ASANTEWAA – HEROISM OF AN AFRICAN QUEEN”,the video involved the eminent Ghanaian historians Adu Boahen, Emmanuel Akyeampong and Ivor Agyeman-Duah. Publications on the queen-mother include books and edited anthology of international conferences. Not surprisingly, Yaa Asantewaa was voted one of the BBC Africa Service personalities of the last century. Yaa Asantewaa’s ancestry has been associated with bravery from her birth in Besease to nearby Boankra, where she cultivated onions as a peasant farmer, to Ejisu itself some few hundred meters away where other relations such as the Afranis were. Interestingly, as late as the mid-1950s, half-a-century after she led the war, her relations got involved in further “wars of liberation” as members of the National Liberation Movement that opposed unitary form of government and called for federalism for the emerging state of Ghana, from 1954 to 1957. The Yaa Asantewaa Memorial Heritage Trail which is located at her gravesite in Ejisu-Besease, her hometown, is a modern visual memorial of this nineteenth century epic drama of historical decolonization – from the geography of birth through contours of the War and the effect on traditional governance of Asante, now an integral part of independent Ghana. The story itself is an episode in the larger context of a bigger history, and the concept of this museum and what visual representation it gives, should be seen in that story.
