While some authors that discuss Nkrumah attribute the charter of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) to Nkrumah it is incorrect to do so.  The OAU charter was actually a compromise, which watered down Nkrumah's recommendations.  The presentations that Nkrumah delivered before the OAU concisely presented his argument and formula for African states to cooperate in a unified manner.  These presentations were particularly useful in that they offered strategic and tactical suggestions that may be viable today.  The disagreements and agreements between Nkrumah and other heads of states allows for a distinguishing of perspectives on issues of African liberation, unity, and socialism, all emancipatory elements of African agency according to Nkrumah.
