Liberator and first President of Ghana

Ghana Maymester 2010 Hookin' Em in front of the Kwame Nkrumah memorial. Notice the building behind. The sides are the shape of inner part of a machete knife. In Ghana, a machete facing up and outwards means war, but facing in and downwards means peace.

My friend Lanza in a candid moment.

This was the first statue in Ghana of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. During the coup d'état of Nkrumah, his statue was defaced and vandalised. You can see here what it used to look like. As a strongly influential and powerful leader of the Pan-African and Neocolonialism movement, it is strongly believed the United States CIA was involved in the military overthrow of Dr. Nkrumah.

Just as we were leaving the memorial the unthinkable occurred. The Honorary Sami Nkrumah was visiting her father's memorial. She was kind enough to take our picture and speakwith our Professor, Dr. Dorie Gilbert.

An address by Dr. Nkrumah:

A great Son of Africa

Whose struggle wrested in

INDEPENDENCE: -

Creating the Nation

GHANA

The Independence of

Ghana is meaningless

unless it is linked to

THE

TOTAL LIBERATION

OF AFRICA
