Local media sources in Ethiopia have reported the death of one of the most notable British-Ethiopian historians and Ethiopianist, Professor Richard Keir Pethick Pankhurst (Richard Pankhurst) has passed away today at the age of 90.
His online biography indicates,
Pankhurst was born in 1927 in Woodford Green to left communist and former suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst (aged 45) and Italian anarchist Silvio Corio (aged 52). His maternal grandparents were Emmeline and Richard Pankhurst.
He is survived by his wife and daughter, Helen Pankhurst, and a son, Alula Pankhurst.
We would like to express our deepest condolences to his family and Ethiopians, who benefited from his great deeds.
