Kwame Nkrumah @ 100


Monday September 21 was the centenary birthday of Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana's founding president and a great voice in the call for African unity. He was celebrated at the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park in Accra. In the middle of this photo is Dr. Julius Garvey, son of Marcus Garvey, one of the earliest people to call for the unity of Africa, leading a group of pan-Africanists in a procession with the Nkrumah statue in the background.
