October 1962 - The Birth Of Our Republic - President

October 1962 - The Birth Of Our Republic - President Nkrumah, with President Sekou Toure of Guinea by him, acknowledging cheers. The two leaders ride in Nkrumah's open limousine. Drum unfolds the vivid and historic celebrations in which young state of Ghana transformed itself into a republic. The most important event of all was the inauguration of Dr Kwame Nkrumah as President and the opening of the first republican parliament, but there were other ceremonies of pomp and pageantry, worthy of our new status among nations.
