June 1959 - Ten Years Of The C. P. P. - Madam Mary

June 1959 - Ten Years Of The C. P. P. - Madam Mary Mensah, chairman of the women's section of the C. P. P. has played a big part in bringing the ladies round to the idea that politics is not for men only. It was born in a period of strife and frustration ten years ago. The people of the Gold Coast were restless for independence, waiting for a leader to show the way. That leader grasped the opportunity. He was Kwame Nkrumah, the man who launched the Convention People's Party on June 12, 1949, and then led to the struggle which brought about the state of Ghana. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
