Description
-
Protector of the providers refers to any deity, spirit, or symbol that represents protection, guidance, or support for those who work to provide for others, such as farmers, laborers, or caregivers. Dr. Robbya Green- Weir an assistant professor in Health Administration at FAMU suggested that MEBA was an ideal landing place for the Field Spirits of the Fante Collection. The importance of the collection to FAMU would be that it represents the agricultural significance of FAMU.
