On the Occasion of Ghana's 50th Anniversary Celebration

Abstract

Let me start by placing my thoughts in context with a quote from Amilcar Cabral, a true son of Africa and brilliant Pan-African freedom fighter, and a historical contemporary of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, in whose memory I dedicate my talk on Ghana's independence and why I believe the Pan-African vision of united Africa, kindled 50 years ago by Ghana's independence, is now at a vital crossroad after decades of ignorant and self-seeking African leadership.
