Joseph Boakye Danquah, widely known as JB Danquah, is a prominent figure in Ghanaian history.
As a key player in Ghana's pre and post-independence eras, the story of how the politician, scholar, and co-founder of the United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC) died, remains a significant part of his legacy.
A sad reminder of the circumstances surrounding his death is a rare black-and-white photograph of JB Danquah lying in his prison cell.
Once an ally and later a fierce opponent of Ghana's first president, Osagyefo Dr. , JB Danquah was arrested twice under Nkrumah's administration.
