Born poor, black hero Kwame Nkrumah became a great renaissance man early in life. His major anti-racism accomplishments number in the many, many dozens – and he worked from every angle, economic, social, political, religious and commercial – which include his fatherhood to six children. He received several university degrees and many honorary doctorates at universities all around the planet. Throughout his career, he worked alongside activists from all of Africa, Europe, Asia, and the US. Some summers he spent in Harlem and also spent time at Black Presbyterian Churches in New York City and Philadelphia, learning a great deal from the streets. He organized a great number of political gatherings around the world and his activism targeted unemployed youths, African women, politicians, farmers, writers, artists, and political philosophers, among others. Like many black heroes, he was inspired by Ghandi and cooperated in particular with Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.. Also like his activist peers, he harbored semi-socialist beliefs: he believed in particular that this philosophy, applied and established especially in Ghana and the Gold Coast region of Africa, could serve blacks all over the continent, then the world. This influence sparked boycotts, riots and strikes there, and he went to prison because of this unrest; people said that what they called, “the African Revolution” began with his work. In this region, he birthed the miracle of roads, railroads, water and sewer systems, housing, harbors, schools and libraries, and established the industries of newspapers, the press, telegraph lines and radio, serving Africa and Europe, both, in multiple languages, which he felt embodied education at its best. In the year 2000, none other than the BBC World Service named him “Man of the Millenium” and identified him as an “International Symbol of Freedom”…Enjoy a visual experience learning more about him in HD below!
