Kwame Nkrumah, George Padmore, and W. E. B. DuBois: Intersections in Twentieth-Century Pan-Africanism

Update: 2013-01-24

Description

This presentation explores the historic moment when Ghana gained its independence on March 6, 1957, and its consequences for the Pan-African movement. That three men—Kwame Nkrumah, the first prime minister and president of Ghana; the Trinidad-born activist and Pan-Africanist George Padmore; and the American scholar W. E. B. DuBois—came to symbolize the concretization of the movement’s objectives in an independent African country meant that what had long been a dream was now a reality, albeit a complicated reality.
