May 1966 - The Mad God Of Ghana - Shades of Walter
May 1966 - The Mad God Of Ghana - Shades of Walter Raleigh: As he walked towards the platform at rallies, women would spread their cover-cloths. Ghana harboured a Dr Faust for 15 years, but he played his role of a Dr Jekyll so well that he got us all fooled for quite some time during which he twisted the law to keep hime in power. The way things went is almost understandable. First there was the excitement and euphoria of the struggle for Ghana's independence. Then came the battle to free the down-trodden people of Africa. Nkrumah hastened the colonialist flight from Africa. (Photograph by Drum Photographer @ BAHA)
