July 1958: The Renaissance Of Africa - MR. ATO ABEB

July 1958: The Renaissance Of Africa - MR. ATO ABEB RETO, AN ETHIOPIAN MINISTER: Africa has long been a theatre of colonialist exploitation. Speakers emphasised that all Africa must become a community, and that the Sahara is now no barrier to this. In this way Africa, which was once the craddle of civilisation, would recover her leading position. Colonialism must end, they said, and those who have had their dignity taken from them by the colonial powers must have their freedom and dignity restored to them. for Asia is now free, and Africa is the last continent in which colonialism survives. In the same way, all racialism must go, and with it the myth of the superiority of one race over another. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
