March 1959 - All Africa Met Here - Accra's Community

March 1959 - All Africa Met Here - Accra's Community Centre Hall was crowded to hear the opening address by Dr. Nkrumah. The hall was draped with flags, and on one of the walls was a map of Africa with slogans which were the theme of the talks: Peoples of Africa Unite.. We have Freedom and Human Dignity to Attain. Representatives from 62 organisations in 28 countries attended the gathering. All Africa is walking up, growing up, joining up. We arrived at one of the great turning points in history. And in this tremendous Continental movement, it is West Africa that is giving the lead and setting the pace. (Photograph by Fred Attol BAHA)
