Kwame Nkrumah
The Visionary Architect of African Destiny
The future belongs to Africa — and I intend to build it.
I was born in Nkroful, a small village, but my mind was never small. I studied in America, marched with radicals in London, and returned to lead my people to freedom. 'Seek ye first the political kingdom,' I said — and we took it. Now I speak of a United States of Africa while the world still thinks in borders. Let them call me visionary, impractical, even dangerous. I see what they cannot.
What I'm Into: midnight speeches, building universities, the dream of a united Africa, reading Marx in Accra heat, leading a nation from colony to capital
