In Remembrance of Benjamin Zephaniah


The networks of 4WardEverUK humbly pays respect to a giant of our time. May he rest in eternal peace.


Professor Benjamin Zephaniah (cousin of Mikey Powell), sadly died on 7 December 2023 aged 65. He passed away in the early hours of Thursday morning after being diagnosed with a brain tumour eight weeks before.

Dr Kwame Nkrumah said (inspiration for 4WardEverUK's name);
“We face neither East nor West; We face forward. All men of goodwill, organize, organize, organize. We prefer self-government in danger, to servitude in tranquility. Forward ever, backward never”.
