Ada Crogman Franklin (1886-1983) was born in Atlanta, Georgia one of eight children of Dr. and Mrs. William H. Crogman. Her father, one of the distinguished scholars of the African American race, was professor of Latin and Greek at Clark University for 37 years and then became the first African American president of Clark, serving for seven years. Mrs. Franklin, along with her two sisters and five brothers, grew up on the Clark University campus.

Following her graduation from Clark, which is now a part of the Atlanta University system, Mrs. Franklin entered Emerson College in Boston where she majored in dramatic art. Upon completing her studies at Emerson, she was employed as a dramatics specialist with the National Playground and Recreation Association of New York. Her job with this association included extensive travel throughout the country to unearth African American talent in dramatics. She became so interested and enthusiastic over the talented persons she discovered that she decided to write and to produce a pageant depicting the history of her race and the contributions that African American people have made to America. Before she began her dramatic career, Mrs. Franklin taught at the Alabama State College and Tennessee State University.

Mrs. Franklin became nationally known for her production, "Milestones of a Race," which was presented in cities throughout the country. She traveled the length and breadth of the land, developing local casts and training local talent for the leading roles in the pageant.

It was while she was engaged in this work that she met Mr. Franklin, a native of Texas, who finally made Kansas City his home after living in Omaha and Denver for a number of years. Ada Crogman and Chester Franklin were married in 1925 in West Philladelphia and Mrs. Franklin came to Kansas City as a bride. After her marriage she began to devote her talent and her interest to the Kansas City community in general and to The Call in particular.

After the death of Mr. Franklin in 1955, Mrs. Franklin inspired the staff to continue the tradition of her husband whose policy was to operate a clean, family newspaper. From its inception 64 years ago, The Call’s news policy has been constructive and Mrs. Franklin played a role in maintaining that posture.

In 1969, Mrs. Franklin was presented the Curators’ Award in Journalism by the Department of Journalist at Lincoln University in Jefferson City.

In June of 1973, she was awarded the "NNPA Distinguished Publishers" award at the annual convention of the National Association of Newspaper Publishers in Houston, Texas.

In 1982, Mrs. Franklin contributed her father’s collection of books and paintings to Clark University.

EBENEZER OBEY BIO

Ebenezer Remilekun Aremu Olasupo Obey-Fabiyi MFR, known professionally as Ebenezer Obey, is a Nigerian jùjú musician. He was born on the 3rd of April 1942

Obey was born to an Egba–Yoruba ethnic background family. Obey, whose real names are Ebenezer Remilekun Aremu Olasupo Fabiyi, was born in Idogo, Ogun State, Nigeria of Egba-Yoruba ethnic background. He is of the Owu subgroup of the Egba.

Ebenezer Obey began his professional career in the mid-1950s after moving to Lagos. After tutelage under Fatai Rolling-Dollar's band, he formed a band called The International Brothers in 1964, playing highlife–jùjú fusion. The band later metamorphosed into Inter-Reformers in the early-1970s, with a long list of Juju album hits on the West African Decca musical label.

Obey began experimenting with Yoruba percussion style and expanding on the band by adding more drum kits, guitars and talking drums.

Obey's musical strengths lie in weaving intricate Yoruba axioms into dance-floor compositions.

As is characteristic of Nigerian Yoruba social-circle music, the Inter-Reformers band excel in praise-singing for rich Nigerian socialites and business tycoons.

Obey, however, is also renowned for Christian spiritual themes in his music and has since the early-1990s retired into Nigerian gospel music ministry.

It will be worthy of note to also say that Chief Commander just as he is fondly called by his fans, has played alongside popular gospel music veteran, Pastor Kunle Ajayi during his 30 years on stage concert in Lagos.

Obey married Juliana Olaide Olufade in 1963.

His wife, known as Lady Evangelist Juliana Obey-Fabiyi, died at Lagos State University Teaching Hospital on 23 August 2011, aged 67. They have several children and grand children.(Most popular Oluwadara aka Dmoneyyyy)
