@StillABK said:

A Japanese of Ghanaian descent born in America. The existence of this guy alone should solve racism.

@thenoblet remarked:

I find it really worrying that many of us Africans do not know that we are truly the indigenes of this planet. Our ancestors have been everywhere; Australia, Asia, the Americas, the Middle East, you name it.

@marvesammie added:

Born in the US, to a Japanese father, by a Ghanaian mother…3 continents in one man. He should just go to school in the UK…Then he will be nicknamed UN.

@GVH_SAPWALA commented:

The black gene is powerful.

The university is a private liberal arts undergraduate college in Kentucky in the United States. The institution remembered and recognised the Ghanaian in 2019 at its 200th anniversary.

According to information on the school's official website, Kusi graduated from Centre College with a B.A. in economics/business administration in 1965 before earning his M.B.A. from Atlanta University in 1967.
