Title: I Speak of Freedom Post by: Tyehimba on April 10, 2004, 09:01:13 AM Kwame Nkrumah (September 21, 1909 - April 27, 1972): 'Divided we are weak; united, Africa could become one of the greatest forces for good in the world. I believe strongly and sincerely that with the deep-rooted wisdom and dignity, the innate respect for human lives, the intense humanity that is our heritage, the African race, united under one federal government, will emerge not as just another world bloc to flaunt its wealth and strength, but as a Great Power whose greatness is indestructible because it is built not on fear, envy and suspicion, nor won at the expense of others, but founded on hope, trust, friendship and directed to the good of all mankind.' ...vision in his 1961 book: "I Speak of Freedom' |
