NKRUMAH MONTHLY QUOTE

ED. NOTE:  The following is a reflective comment of Kwame Nkrumah on the importance of women in the success of the Convention People's Party. The quote is extracted from his Autobiography of Kwame Nkrumah. Panaf ed. n. p.: Panaf. Original edition: New York, Nelson, 1957, pp. 89-90. The spellings are the same as those in the British version from which we took the quote.

ED. NOTE:  In what had to be a tense gathering on 25 May 1963, Kwame Nkrumah addressed the then Heads of State of African governments.  This meeting was a compromised result and an effort to slow down the momentum of the Nkrumahists throughout the continent.  Nkrumah’s government had brought an entourage of a hundred persons with the mission of encouraging a program for unity.  Their proposals proved to be more than what the other state governments were willing to endorse.  What follows is an excerpt of Nkrumah’s statement to that gathering.  *A soundbite of another portion of the presentation is available for you to hear.  To hear it, click this text.
