THE AUTOGRAPHY OF KWAME NKRUMAH
Kwame Nkrumah was born in 1909 in the western province of the Gold coast. After early education in a village school he attended the prince of Wales college at Achimota and Lincoln University, Pennsylvania. He graduated in 1939, and was later awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. In 1945 he studied in West African Politics. He returned to the gold coast convention.
Two years later Nkrumah formed the revolutionary convention peoples party (CPP), which led to the independence of Ghana and ushered in the African revolution. Imprisoned for political agitation in 1950, he was released in 1951 to form a government, first a leader of government business and later as first prime minister of the Gold coast. In 1954 and again in 1956, his party was over whelmingly returned to power on its firm policy of “self-government now”. On 18th September 1956, he declared amid unparalleled scenes of jubilation the date for his country independence and the birth of the new nation constituted a personal triumph for Kwame Nkrumah, Prime minister since 1952 and leading African statesmen, then among the two hundred million people of his continent.
The autobiography of Kwame Nkrumah is a moving human story, recounting the dramatic rise to the power and fame of a village goldsmiths son from half Assini, whose vision of freedom became a reality in his country and an example for other territories in Africa.
