Title: Rainbow happenings
Description: "Rainbow Happenings is about the life of John Albert Musselman Karefa-Smart, a nonagenarian native of the Republic of Sierra Leone, the former British colony and protectorate in West Africa. The title refers to the succession of seemingly fortuitous events that he believes Providence used to guide him in his work as educator, minister, physician, public health practitioner and administrator, diplomat, politician, and elder statesman. In the legend of Farma’s Bow, the mighty warrior hurls his weapon into the sea where it becomes a rainbow on the horizon. For the author, the rainbow marks the way forward and serves as a reminder of goals and dreams, especially a United States of Africa."--Publisher's website (viewed July 7, 2010).
