Unfortunately, In this era where Dr. Emmanuel Bansa migrated
here from Ghana in Africa while in Illinois, he traveled to Mississippi and was
beaten by the Ku Klux Klan as they kept a gun at his head threatening to blow
his head off for calling Jesus to save him while they were trying to lynch him
as they took him into the woods where he saw ropes in the trees, his life was spared
because a white man approached the Klan and told them to let him go.
He escaped that nightmare and was later arrested by white
policemen for entering a bathroom that didn’t say colored and was forewarned of
the racial dynamics of colored people here in the United States as an African
he was shocked of the way people of color had to go through because of the
color of their skin.
Prior to that, as a medical student his white professor told
him to get out of his class and that he didn’t belong in his class and if he
stayed in his physiology class he was going to flunk him regardless to whatever
grade he received; despite, complaining to the dean of the threatening remark,
who promised to keep an eye on the professor, the professor failed him, he
repeated the course with another professor and passed graduated a year later.
Dr. Bansa has been a Doctor for more than 40 years, but his
skin color has always been an issue in spite of his education, accolades or
qualifications in his profession as a physician here in Chicago.
He was en route to Osteopatic Hospital in Hyde Park for
surgery in his Mercedes Benz, Chicago Police saw him pulled and ordered him out
of the car and hand cuffed him leaving his car near the Armory near Cottage
Grove, a nurse witnessed the encounter and notified the hospital, Dr. Bansa was
taken to 51st Wentworth the Police never said why he was hand cuffed
or arrested, hospital administrators called the Police and warned them if the
patient died, they were going to sue the Police Department, Dr. Bansa was
released and obtained an attorney there was no record of the incident and no
one had any knowledge of the incident.
Finally, Dr. Bansa lost his job at St James Hospital, due to
age discrimination, lost his job at Orland Park Surgery Center, due to Racial
Discrimination and Age Discrimination even though, he filed a suit against the facility,
the money he received was “peanuts” in comparison to his salary. His wife
Bishop Connie Bansa is an International Bishop travels across the world and
speaks at many engagements has a church in the Englewood Community overcame
cancer and is an advocate keeping young people off the streets helping them
receive scholarships for college etc.
