Nkrumah's
Speeches
Context Neither
Selected Speeches nor Osei's compilation described the contextual
scenery of the presentations. For this element, Nkrumah's commentaries
as well as secondary sources proved useful. Six audio recordings
of Nkrumah's speeches have also proved to be particularly helpful in observing
style and oratory rhythm.[1]
One of these recordings was of Nkrumah addressing the Organization of African
Unity on May 25th, 1963, and provides an excellent expose on
Nkrumah's use of innuendo with his peers – or agents that considered themselves
so – in an effort to forge Pan-African agency (1976).

One tape used was obtained in Accra during the celebration of Fortieth
Anniversary of Ghana's official independence from British Colonialism.
Another tape was widely circulated in the mid-1980s and had a half an hour
presentation of Nkrumah at the United Nations in 1965.
